Decorated using the sgraffito technique, in which lines are incised through a clay slip to reveal the differently colored ground beneath, <i>Jazz Bowl</i> recounts a Christmas Eve visit Schreckengost made to New York as an art student during the 1920s, and includes representations of Times Square, Harlem’s Cotton Club, and the Ziegfeld Follies at Radio City Music Hall. Mrs. Roosevelt liked the bowl so much she ordered two additional copies, and Cowan Pottery, where Schreckengost worked as a ceramicist and designer, produced a limited edition of about twenty-five bowls with slight variations, including this example.\n","remarks":"AMER2_23-27_CLA  Day 1 Cataloguing"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"Acquired by Mr. and Mrs. James Eells, Princeton (NJ), by 1968; donated to the Princeton University Art Museum, 1968.","remarks":null}],"datebegin":1930,"sortnumber":"1968  163y","published_date":"2026-02-11 10:22:39.692681","objectid":30845,"dimensions":"h. 29.0 cm,  diam. 40.7 cm (11 7/16 x 16 in.)","on_view":true}
