Jacomena Maybeck got interested in ceramics when her husband was stationed in Germany during World War Two. At age 46 she started working with clay. After the war, she studied under Edith Heath, then completed a master’s degree in ceramics from the California College of Arts and Crafts (CCAC) in 1952. She studied with Antonio Prieto and Charles Fiske. (Nora Eccles Treadwell was at CCAC during the same period.) Jackie, as she preferred to be called, taught there until 1978. Though she is especially admired for her glazes, the two resting full-bodied birds shown here are not glazed—they are raw, deep-red clay, with iron oxide black stain for the contrasting beak, eyes, wings, and tail details. The thickly glazed small goblet quietly flaunts a deep milky satin glaze.
