Also known as
Harrison Edward McIntosh, McIntosh, Harrison
Harrison Edward McIntosh (1914–2016) was an American ceramic artist and potter associated in the collected sources with mid-century modern ceramics. Authority records distinguish him as an American artist and potter, while the available biographical summary describes a practice centered on simple, symmetrical forms. That emphasis places his work within the collector-facing history of twentieth-century studio ceramics, where authorship, form, and period context are important to identification. The source pack also reports that his work was exhibited in the United States, including at the Smithsonian, and internationally, including at the Louvre; those exhibition claims remain biographical leads pending confirmation through institutional records. Collectors may encounter McIntosh through ceramic works attributed to him and auction records grouped under his name. Stable identifiers from Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, and the Library of Congress help distinguish his record from similarly named people and support consistent entity matching.

Common works and media
The available sources identify McIntosh primarily with ceramic art and pottery. The biographical summary emphasizes simple, symmetrical forms in a mid-century modern context. The source pack does not provide a reliable inventory of specific vessel types, named series, editions, glazes, or recurring subjects, so auction objects should be described from the individual lot rather than assigned to an unsupported category or series.
Market and appraisal context
Market review for a work attributed to McIntosh should begin with identity matching and a careful description of the ceramic object. The collected biography associates his practice with simple, symmetrical mid-century modern forms, making medium, work type, and stylistic fit useful comparison fields. Appraisily's public artist record signals an auction-price dataset for his name, but the collected pack contains no readable lot-level results, major-auction-house analysis, or price-trend evidence. Comparable records should therefore be evaluated individually, with sale date, realized price, dimensions, condition, provenance, markings, and attribution documented from the underlying lot when available. This profile does not support a price forecast or a claim that any single characteristic increases value.
