What a subtle, yet pretty, statement that would make! This handmade, signed Glit pottery is in the “Brutalist” design style — a style that intentionally attempts to look raw, haphazard or unadorned. This piece of Glit pottery measures a mere 3 1/2″ tall x not quite 3 1/2″ wide. It is signed on the bottom "Glit Iceland Lava"; the artist mark is undetectable.

What is Glit Pottery?

The Design Museum Iceland, which in 2013 held a retrospective exhibition of works from Glit Pottery, offered the following description of Glit pottery on its exhibition site which stated:

"The exhibition placed emphasis on the fact that despite its complicated history over many years of operation, Glit was adamantly devoted to utilizing Icelandic clay and ground minerals in production during its first decade of operation—especially hardened lava. Glit was, in many ways, well ahead of its time—making deep impressions in the history of Icelandic ceramic art." less
