Hi Kate, this happens often. I find cool art that I respond to but I cannot make out the signature and I’m not quite sure of the medium. Looks 60s. The poor photos were done hastily – sorry. Thought I would run it by you.

Looks like it could be Hippolyte Fauvel. I’m down with a stomach virus but was able to find this link, which has a little bit of biographical information.

If you check findartinfo you can get the exact prices and make size comparisons.

Thanks! It looks like in one of his other paintings where I could make out a bit of the signature, he signed his full first name. I’m going to see what this painting does as I would be interested in it for myself, but it is good to know that I likely wouldn’t get over $200 for resale.

The painting at the auction I went to sold for $500, which was well above my $50 budget 🙂

Yes, because I am down for the count at the moment I didn’t cross-check all of the signatures…
but certainly more than one signed with just an H has been attributed to him. Of course, the art world and the internet are both rife with bad attributions. As I come back to life over the course of the day I’ll look into it some more. 🙂 -

Feeling a little better today, thanks!
I found this one, signed “H,” and attributed to Hippolyte Fauvel.

If anyone has good sites for an overview of California art pottery, I’d love it if you would share. I find a tremendous amount of vintage glazed stoneware in particular, often in earth tones. I’d like to learn at least the biggest names so I can decide quickly. I’ve also purchased a few nice pieces without looking them up. I’ve started a pinterest board with one example
Kate, I was thinking you might know of somewhere I can educate myself, or if this category of art pottery is not really in demand. Thanks!

Art pottery is in demand, in my experience. I’d definitely check The Marks Project. Here are a few articles and reference sites that might help:

http://www.collectorsweekly.com/pottery/studio
http://themarksproject.org/I can’t see/read the signature on the piece with the blue leaves; can you get a better photo?

I know so little about art, I’m trying to figure out what type this is oil versus watercolor. There’s no signatures and I can ‘feel’ the paint so I’m thinking it’s not a print. Any help would be appreciated.
Can’t get the link or image thing to work but here it is hard wired 🙂

I’m pretty sure those are paint-by-number paintings, which I believe are usually acrylic. Definitely not watercolor.
Here’s an existing listing for the pair:
