PROVENANCE
Acquired directly from the Artist
By descent to the present Private Collection, Ontario


During the period when Emily Carr was virtually not painting, one of the multitude of things she did to make a living was to produce pottery painted with native motifs. One of the most rewarding aspects for her in the process was in the researching of Haida motifs, from books such as John Swanton’s Ethnography of the Haida and museums such as the National Museum in Ottawa. This is a wonderful example of her ceramic bowls, with bright colouring and an animated design. This work, as well as Klee Wyck Thunderbird Bowl (navy edge) and Klee Wyck Thunderbird Candlestick Holder, were acquired directly from the artist and have remained in the same family since their consignment to Heffel this fall.
