Maigonis Daga Ceramic Mammoth – Signed, Mid-Century Studio Pottery
A bold and minimal ceramic sculpture by Maigonis Daga, a master of North American studio pottery. This signed piece exemplifies Daga’s signature style — simplified animal forms with monumental presence and timeless design.
Maigonis Daga (1923–2001) was a Latvian-Canadian ceramicist celebrated for his mid-century modernist aesthetic, hand-built forms, and deep matte glazes. A key figure in the studio pottery movement, his work straddles the line between functional object and sculptural art. Daga’s animal-inspired pieces are prized by collectors for their organic minimalism, emotional weight, and craftsmanship.

Fully hand-built with studio pottery texture and asymmetry
Signed “Daga” on the base in gold script
