Peter Beasecker is known for primarily wheel thrown porcelain utilitarian objects: teapots, cups, tumblers, etc. He often creates pieces in sets: nesting bowls, sets of bowls, and double vases.He continued the idea of relationship pottery in later work: small porcelain bowls in larger stoneware containers, or carriers, and porcelain slabs.
?Beasecker?s recent work has concentrated on ?carriers?, dark stoneware vessels holding numerous porcelain cups or bowls. He also continues his porcelain work making simple plates, bowls, and vases.? (http://peter-beasecker.com 8 19 2016 10:45 p.m.)
