Warren MacKenzie (American, 1924-2018). Group of six small studio pottery ceramic teabowls. Glazed stoneware with various decoration along the sides. Each stamped along the footrim.

Warren MacKenzie was a renowned Minnesota studio potter. A student of Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, he is credited with bringing the functional Mingei tradition to the United States, and spreading it through his own art and mentorship of students during his long tenure at the University of Minnesota.
