The design of the bowl is similar to Negoro's work and may have been made by Anderson under Negoro's instruction at Alfred University. Three pieces total. Minnie Negoro made at New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred, New York. Circa 1945. 4 3/4" to 5 1/2" D.
Excellent undamaged condition.
Provenance: Winslow Anderson estate sold to benefit the Huntington Museum of Art.
Catalogue Note: Minnie Negoro received her Bachelor's in Art from the University of California in Los Angeles in 1944 before she and her family were sent to a Japanese internment camp in Wyoming because of their Japanese ancestry. Potter, Daniel Rhodes, was able to get Negoro out of the internment camp and enroll her at the New York State College of Ceramics in Alfred, New York. Winslow Anderson, future designer for Blenko Glass and Lenox China, graduated from Alfred in 1947 and likely worked with Negoro during her time at Alfred.

Excellent undamaged condition.
