Julia Edna Mattson worked as an instructor and later as Assistant Professor in the University of North Dakota’s Ceramic department between the years 1924-1963. Her designs reflect an interest in the Arts and Crafts movement in America and American Indian pottery. Early UND pottery is characteristic of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movement. The decoration of this vessel recalls the graphic designs found on Indian basketry as well as the Prairie School windows of Frank Lloyd Wright.
