Don Reitz Vases and Vessels

American, 1929-2014

Donald Lester Reitz was an American ceramic artist, recognized for inspiring a reemergence of salt glaze pottery in the United States. He was a teacher of ceramic art at the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1962–88. During this period, he adapted the pottery firing technique developed in the Middle Ages, which involved pouring salt into the pottery kiln during the firing stage. The method was taught in European ceramic art schools, but largely unknown in United States studio pottery.
