About Michael Casson

Died

Nationality

English

Michael Casson (1925–2003) was an English studio potter and ceramicist born in London. Public authority records consistently identify him with British studio ceramics, while biographical sources record the honorific OBE. His name is especially relevant to collectors of twentieth-century handmade pottery, where the maker's identity, working method, surface, and vessel form are central to cataloguing. A documented thrown jug provides a clear example of the functional vessel tradition associated with his work, although the available source pack does not support assigning him to a narrower named movement or defining a complete list of forms. Collectors may encounter Casson's ceramics through decorative-art and studio-pottery sales, specialist collections, or mixed auctions. Stable Wikidata, VIAF, library, ISNI, and RKD identifiers help distinguish this Michael Casson from people with similar names and improve reliable matching between biographical and auction records.

Common works and media

Auction and appraisal contexts are most likely to describe Casson's work as studio pottery or ceramics. The collected sources specifically document thrown pottery and a jug, supporting vessel-based comparisons. Broader claims about particular bowl, bottle, sculpture, print, or painting series are not established by the available source pack and should not be assumed without object-level evidence.

Market and appraisal context

Michael Casson's auction results should be assessed against works with genuinely comparable medium, form, dimensions, date, condition, and attribution. For studio pottery, surface condition, restoration, inscriptions or maker's marks, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can all affect how a lot is evaluated. Recent public sales provide useful comparison points, but they do not establish a guaranteed price: auction feeds can be incomplete, private transactions are usually absent, and reported totals may handle premiums or fees differently. A sound appraisal should therefore verify the object itself and select close comparables rather than applying a single artist-wide median to every ceramic work.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Studio pottery and ceramics
  • Thrown vessels, including jugs
  • Decorative art

Value drivers

  1. Medium, form, size, date, and period within the artist's career
  2. Condition, restoration history, and surface quality
  3. Signature, inscriptions, marks, and attribution confidence
  4. Provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references
  5. Recent public auction results for genuinely comparable works

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are a starting point rather than a final appraisal.
  • Compare like-for-like results because reported totals may treat buyer premiums and fees differently.
  • Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, attribution changes, and unrecorded restoration can limit comparisons.
  • Authentication and direct condition inspection may materially alter an appraisal conclusion.
