Glazed ceramic planter pays homage to an original 1993 vessel by Los Angeles ceramicist Jerome Ackerman. The original work, acquired by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, is defined by a rich, debossed texture that embodies the spirit of California midcentury modernism. The pattern is recreated here on glazed earthenware for a durable planter that can be used outdoors or indoors. CB2 exclusive.
Detroit natives Evelyn and Jerome Ackerman founded ERA Industries in 1956. For 50 years, the Los Angeles-based couple played a central role in shaping California's midcentury modern movement. Presented in collaboration with Ackerman Modern, the pieces in this collection recreate the couple's iconic midcentury designs using original drawings and archival photographs.
