Item Description

Morgan Peck is a ceramicist living in Los Angeles. Her namesake ceramic company, started in 2011, includes mirrors, lamps, sculptures and vases all made in her backyard studio. Peck’s work continues in the footsteps of the studio potters that preceded her and she takes note of numerous styles, hinting at the Memphis Group, the Bauhaus, and Art Deco. Sometimes reproducing the forms of Venetian glass and the splotchy surfaces of 19th century spongeware, she moves through these references with a modest, considered, and decidedly modern touch.

Sight Unseen says, "Peck is still meditating on a familiar squiggle-handled, slab-built, amphora vernacular in her vases, but the new works also display a new fascination with texture, inspired by craggy barnacles and silky, sponge-like sea anemones. The palette also reflects the Washington-born, L.A.–based Peck’s lifelong proximity to the Pacific Ocean, all sandy neutrals and aquamarine blues."

Low and sleek vase with green glaze.
