Item Description
Artist Emil Milan (American, 1922-1985) was a major contributor to the studio craft movement in the 1950s and 60s. After training to be a sculptor at the Art Students League of New York, he developed and produced a distinctive line of "functional sculpture" - wooden bowls, trays, and serving ware - that captured the essence of Midcentury Modern Design. He stood with now legendary artists and designers like Wharton Esherick, Sam Maloof, Wendell Castle, Charles Eames, George Nakashima, and Bob Stocksdale (among others) in the most important exhibitions of fine craft in America. His wares were tailored for and sold in high-end retailers such as Hammacher Schlemmer, Saks Fifth Avenue and the original Pottery Barn store in Manhattan. His works are in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and many more.
The bowl is in good condition showing normal signs of wear such as scuffs to the wood (see photos) and dirt on the bottom of the bowl.
It is signed on the bottom "By Emilan Walnut."
