A rustic, large, early Chamotte vase from the Benzonia, Michigan, studio of well-known ceramicist Alan Vigland.  Signed on the base.  The item has a small, flat chip on the rim [see photo].

ALAN GUDEMOOS VIGLAND was born in 1941 in Elberta, Michigan.  Together with high-school sweetheart and future wife Susan "Susie" Trapp, he attended Michigan State University, where Susie encouraged him to take a ceramics course during his senior year.  He fell in love with the art form.  Under the guidance of professor Louis Raynor, Vigland switched majors to ceramics and eventually graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts.

"Volunteered" by mother-in-law Muriel Trapp, who sat on its building committee, Vigland received his first big commission to design and build a massive stained-glass window for the First Congregational Church of Benzonia.  The strikingly beautiful work is enjoyed by members and visitors to this day.

In 1968 Alan and Susie moved to Benzonia, Michigan, and opened the Vigland Gallery to showcase his pottery.  The gallery operated during summer months; during the winter the couple traveled extensively to art fairs between Michigan and Florida.  Vigland taught ceramics part-time at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in northwest Michigan and later at Northwestern Michigan College.  He was widely-respected as a potter by both peers and customers.  Vigland's pieces have appeared in numerous galleries nationwide and are held in many private collections.  He died in 2015.

Suprisingly good quality and a great looking jacket
I have been searching for a ring master jacket for a circus themed gala where I will be the Auctioneer/Ring Master. All the other jackets I looked at were either cheap costume stuff or just looked a little too much military Hussar style with all of the added gold tassels. This has just the right class and definitely the right look. I was worried it would fit weird or just not be constructed well but I could not be any happier with this jacket- the sleeves are a perfect length when my arms hang at my side, as is the high waist cut and the length of the tails are also just right- and best of all the sequins really shine. I spent my career in the circus and the performing arts and this would have been more than acceptable on stage for someone to wear as a ring master or to look fancy and sparkly, assuming nobody will be standing on your shoulders and popping off your sequins. It is comfortable to wear, although I would not say it allows for full range of motion relative to a costume I would have actually worn in a circus while doing acrobatics. But that would be a totally hand made costume with flexible material and 4-10x the price. Overall it cannot be beat for your average wearer!

Well Made, Runs A Little Small
I bought this on short notice for a drag show. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but it exceeded my expectations in a lot of ways. The interior feels like the inside of a standard suit coat, and is comfortable for long term wear. The sequins are sewn on in a pattern, and there's little, if any, fallout. I've only found a couple sequins on the floor. I've used it a lot since the drag show, for a lot of things (live streams, videos, etc). Absolutely worth the price, and I've already gotten my money's worth out of it. It does run a little small, but it still mostly fits according to the size chart. A few notes: - It doesn't have button holes, so if you're looking for something that buttons up, look elsewhere. - Washing instructions say to machine wash cool, warm iron (do not tumble dry, do not dry clean). I'd say run it on the gentlest cycle you can muster, or just spot clean stains and the pits (if you're sweaty). I don't know how well this thing would survive a wash, but I haven't needed to wash it yet.
