Maishe Dickman creates wheel thrown stoneware dinnerware and serving pieces with a Shaner Red and Tenmoku (Japanese Black Accent) Glaze, and a Turquoise Blue Glaze. He is one of Americas’s best potters. His functional work is described as production pottery.
The label production may imply machinery and lots of people on an assembly line. Contrary to the name, with some assistance, Maishe makes all his pottery himself. Production in this case implies he may make a group of the same items: a series. Mugs, bowls, pitchers, etc. are all made in a series. Each one is done by hand and is similar, but different. Once glazed, he stacks his kiln and fires it for 24-25 hours to a temperature of 2450 degrees.
Handmade in the USA.
