Howard Pierce was famous for his modern figurines in the 1950s. He originally apprenticed under master ceramicist Willam Manker in Claremont, CA, eventually venturing off on his own. Millard Sheets hired Manker to teach ceramics at the Claremont Colleges. 

Pierce is known for his glazes, many of them inspired by his master, Manker. He worked in porcelain as well as concrete and clay.

Both of these doves are in wonderful condition and stamped "Howard Pierce" on their underside.
