Peter Minko (Bendigo, New Zealand)
http://www.minko.com.au/
Minko makes wheel-thrown porcelain vases and lamps. His work is
trimmed and burnished, bisque fired, then painted with metallic oxides
and re-fired. His forms and decoration are classic.
Hilda Merom (born in Argentina; now lives in Kfar Vradim, Israel)
http://www.hildamerom.com/
Merom makes "craggy" pots, often saggar firing them with organic
materials. She also creates functional pottery with asymmetric forms.
These pots may have shino or other glazes and are high-fired to make
them suitable for use in microwave and conventional ovens.
She is a member of the Israeli Ceramic Artist Association:

Lisa Liebermann and Oliver Koter (Olisa Pottery)
(Plettenberg Bay, South Africa)
http://www.olisa.co.za/
Lisa is the daughter of Sammy and Mary Liebermann, who started the
Liebermann Pottery in Johannesberg in 1954. After Sammy's death in
2000, Mary passed the Lieberman Pottery to a nephew, Adriaan Turgel,
(see below) while daughter Lisa purchased the Tau Pottery, renaming it
the Olisa Pottery. (To enter the site, click on the text: "view our
range of pottery inspired by the atmosphere of Plettenberg Bay.")
Adriaan Turgel (Liebermann Pottery) Johannesburg, South Africa)
http://www.liebermannpottery.co.za/
This pottery employs numerous throwers and decorators, and to compete
with the flood of extremely inexpensive pottery from Asia, has
travelled extensively to find and bring pottery from the East to Africa
for the Liebermann show-room, where it is sold along with traditional
pit-fired African pottery, faience, and stoneware, made locally.
David Miller (Collorgues, France)

Painterly decorative work on individualistic and well thought out,
often altered forms.

"The Mogollon Mimbres Culture" Information about this culture and
links to images of bowls, especially a page of zoomable thumbnails of
Mimbres rabbit bowls. (The Mogollon culture apparently used
mind-altering drugs, and parents should note that an internal page on
this website provides a link to the Lycaeum website which
cross-references a great many of these compounds, and describes their
(often deadly poisonous) qualities.)
