Object Details

Artist

Philip Cornelius, born San Bernardino, CA 1934-died 2015

Luce Center Label

Philip Cornelius feels that his thinware must be held to be appreciated, and the bumpy surface of Yukon Teapot certainly encourages that. The artist's pots appear fragile and delicate, but are actually quite durable because of the intense heat he uses to fire them.
