Description: Studio Art Pottery Wishon Harrell Muncie IN Lantern Signed. Beautiful studio lantern piece signed Wishon Harell. Never used only displayed. No chips or cracks. A little background on Wishon-Harrell Pottery: James Wishon and Jerry Harrell began their professional pottery careers working for Frank Willett at Willett Studios in Pico Rivera, California. Both Willett and Wishon had work included in the California Design 9 exhibit. As I understand it, Willett and Wishon threw the ware and Jerry Harrell did much of the glaze decoration. In 1971, when Willett moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, Wishon and Harrell began their partnership as Wishon-Harrell Pottery. The first location was in Santa Ana, California then La Jolla (San Diego). Along with changing times and taste, I suspect a little homesickness sent them East. For a short time they made ware in Durango, Colorado and eventually (mid-1980s) found their home in Muncie, Indiana. (I'm pretty sure that at least Jerry Harrell, and maybe both were originally from Indiana.)
