Ben Owen III (Seagrove, NC, b. 1968), Large Genie Bottle Vase

2012, stoneware with blue-green glaze, a footed ovoid form with tall tapering neck, signed and dated to the underside. 17 in. Ben Owen III studied pottery as a young apprentice first with his grandfather, Ben Owen Sr., the second known potter to work at Jugtown Pottery (1923-1959) near Seagrove in the late 1970s-1980s, and later at East Carolina University (1989-1993). Like his grandfather, Ben creates pottery that reflects a foundation in traditional early American designs, and incorporates influences from Asia, Europe, and Persia. Ben has participated in workshops and conferences throughout the United States, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and recently in China. His work can be found in many museums nationwide, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Smithsonian Museum of Art. Ben’s commissions grace the lobby of the Ritz Carlton Tokyo Hotel in Japan and The Umstead Hotel and Spa in NC. Singer/songwriter James Taylor and golfer Arnold Palmer are among the notables whose collections include works by Ben Owen III. Good estate condition.
