I agree with Ivor. Even my own answer was ethnocentric with a Montana
perspective.
The statement that the world's greatest potter may be in Uzbekistan was
a reality check as I have been in Uzbekistan and taught ceramics at the
art institute. I have also spent much time with traditional potters in
Spain. So, the question is really very subjective and geographically
biased.
In today's world, the answer of who has had the most the impact on
contemporary ceramics would have to be limited to the education and
awareness of the one answering.

The greatest potter in the world might indeed be in
Uzbekistan. However, if nobody in the rest of the world has
heard of him/her or knows of his/her work, then they could
hardly be accused of having the most impact on contemporary
ceramics.

How many of the Clayart members are aware if the International Academy
of Ceramics. That would be a place where such a question has more relevance.
