Hill / James
Ceramics by Tony Hill (1908-1975) Hill was a noted Africa American artist who studied ceramics under Glen Lukens at USC. He ran a successful ceramics studio in Los Angles that was in business for over 30 years. His bio in A Handbook of California Design, 1930-1965: Craftspeople, Designers, Manufacturersdescribes him as a prominent member of the Los Angeles African American artistic circle and a role model for younger artists in the community, including John W. Outterbridge. Ads for his company were a common sight in Arts & Architecture magazine in the 1950s. Considering his notoriety and time in business, it would be expected that more of his work would show up on the secondary market, but examples seems scarce. Source: Arts & Architecture, 1952

An ultra-modern home in 1953 sounds good. I wonder who the architect was?
