Stan Bitters Bird Feeder, United States 1970s

Beautiful hanging bird feeder by noted Californian ceramicist, Stan Bitters. Plastic cords are attached at three points on the dish and meet in a knot at the middle of the cords. Each plastic cord is adorned with a cast clay bird at their base. Feeding dish has three drainage holes so that rain or snow can drain from the feed. Matching bird bath in separate listing.As a pioneer of the organic modernist craft movement in the 1960s, Bitters has been producing rough-hewn ceramic birdhouses, planters, pedestals, mural tiles, totems, boulder walls, and fountains for more than half a century. He has mesmerized architects, landscapers, and collectors from the start but was recently discovered by a hip new audience. Actress Cameron Diaz has a Bitters water wall at her beach house, and Commune commissioned him to create a group of two-story fireplaces that are focal points at the Ace Hotel.  Located in our Los Angeles Gallery.
