Rupert: American Diagramic Artist

Rupert was an American ceramics artist. His pots are known for innovative design and the decoration of high fired pots.

Rupert won prizes for the ceramics he made. Deese’s work is ongoing and sold too many people. The stoneware he made was showed off to private and public
