Background: Thomas Reece (1945-2013) was a Buck’s County, Pennsylvania master ceramic artist and sculptor throughout the mid to later 20th C. His ceramic work evolved into sculptured pottery art in the 1970s using the same local materials to fashion rare character pieces, which are treasured in collections internationally. — Stoneware jug Stoneware pitcher Stoneware vase Studio pottery jug Studio pottery pitcher Art pottery pitcher Art pottery jug Art pottery vase Hand-thrown pitcher jug vase Mid century ceramic Mid century pitcher 3292.4651
