1999 14.5" Debbie Fecher Gramstad Face Vase

Description

No cracks, chips, or restorations. 14.5" tall x 8" wide one of a kind item.

Well known for her shakers Originally created in 1981 as a means to inspire a stressed-out friend "to take life with a grain of salt", the Shakers actually began their lives a functional salt and pepper shakers. Nineteen years and 30,000 sculptures later… the shakers have evolved into a collection of figurative ceramic art that is displayed and sold in galleries nationwide. Each Shaker is a page in the diary of my life, a 3-dimensional metaphor, which arise from my day-to-day experiences. These living doodles are tiny monuments to the daily experiences of "being". The sculptures capture life's moments of absurdity, contradiction, pain, joy, befuddlement and love. Each Shaker is a completely unique piece of sculpture. They are carefully handcrafted of fine porcelain, then fired and individually hand-painted. No two are ever alike. And the Shakers do indeed let us "take life with a grain of salt" by making us laugh and cry at the absurdity of our predicaments, the humor of our foibles and the wonder of being human. Tw49
