While I agree with the naysayers I would also say that a sincere response
to the question is also due.
Rather than try to judge the 10 best potters I would suggest a few
INFLUENTIAL potters.
to wit:
Shoji Hamada and Bernard leach for their obvious influence on the modern
pottery movement;
Peter Voulkos, Warren Mackenzie, and Ken Ferguson, for being
inspired/inspiring teachers:
Ken Price for being the lone potter amongst the "cool school"; (personal
taste showing thru here)
George Ohr for putting lopsided pots on the map and Dave the Slave for
giving dignity where there was none;
Lucie Rie for her graceful forms and Beatrice Wood for going where no man,
or woman, has gone before.

Here are some interesting lists I've shared here before:
The leading Japanese ceramic art quarterly Honoho Geijutsu =3DA0published
an interesting list.. It deals with who are considered the most
important (juuyou) and popular (ninki) potters of the 20th century.
http://www.e-yakimono.net/html/honoho-rankings.html
The top three most influential are:
Tomimoto
Yagi
Hazan (Hamada's teacher. =3DA0Hamada is ranked as 10th)
Top 3 most popular:
Kamoda Shoji =3DA0(student of Tomimoto)
Yagi Kazuo
Okabe Mineo
Kamoda would be in my top 10 most important modern potters. =3DA0 Almost
nobody knows about him here in the USA.
