Parker employed accomplished designers and ceramicists, including Sergio Dello Strologo and Fong Chow, whose bold shapes, experimental glazes and graphic patterns helped Glidden earn numerous design awards and recognition as an important name in postwar American ceramics. Although the pottery closed in 1957, its colourful, forward-looking designs remain highly collectible examples of American mid-century modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SummerhillCuriosities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374922104893,"sku":"MXSD-26-2672643-218","price":129.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/2195\/9229\/files\/GliddenPotteryFongChowDesignSquareBlackDish_front_wb.jpg?v=1784602788","url":"https:\/\/summerhillcuriosities.com\/products\/glidden-pottery-afrikaans-square-dish-by-fong-chow","provider":"SummerhillCuriosities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
