Walter Sullivan Roche (1922-1977) is recognized as a modernist studio potter of abstract forms and glazing techniques. He was born in Newport, RI in 1923 and after serving in the military during WWII he attended the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where he was a student of Lyle Perkins. At RISD he earned a BFA in Industrial Design (1949). After working in Indiana as an industrial designer he and his wife (who he met at RISD) moved to Warner, NH in 1954, where he built a studio. Roche's pieces are known for their elegant but simple designs and glazes which are highly sought after.
The decanter and cups are in excellent vintage condition, with NO chips or cracks. This Art Pottery set is the PERFECT addition to your Mid-Century Modern Art Pottery collection. less
