Etsy is our only platform for selling Boris Vitlin's art.
Occasionally some fake discount junk websites will steal our whole listings (photos and descriptions and my name) and sell “Boris’ ceramics”.
Please don’t fall for that. Boris has never made copies of his work.
If we list it in our Etsy shop and some other site claims to sell it too – they are frauds.
Also if they claim to sell multiple copies of the same piece -- they are frauds.

This is a print of an original ink drawing by Boris Vitlin
Original drawing was made on watercolor paper and measures 9" by 12.5"

To accommodate the original drawing size, print size will be 11" by 14"
Highest quality giclée print on high quality Fuji Archival Luster paper. For even better impression Fuji Deep Matte paper could be used.

In 2007 my talented and artistic father-in-law, Boris Vitlin, passed away after a long struggle with brain cancer. He had devoted the last 20 years of his life to his passion of creating ceramic art and after his passing, my husband and I decided to share his beautiful work with others so you can enjoy it as much as we do.

As a Soviet Jewish refugee, for Boris, coming to the US meant he would now finally have the freedom to express himself, breathe life into his work, and create beauty for his family and friends. The fantastic artwork painted on his pieces portray stories of love, fantasy, friendship and family. Often his Soviet and Judiac background can be seen through his stunning work. Later, his pieces would be adorned with innovative glazing techniques and dazzling colors. Boris' passion encompassed his art, and after a long immigration, he finally found himself in a place where he could freely make his work and share it with others.

In my shop I feature his hand-painted tiles, low-fire functional ceramics - Majolica, mid-range temperature ceramics and high temperature reduction stoneware.

You can also see Boris' pieces featured in murals at the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Baltimore, various ceramics at the art gallery in Cleveland State University, Ohio Craft Museum in Columbus, and in private collections such as synagogues in the US, Israel, Australia, Sweden and Russia.

Many times a potter’s style is consistently recognizable. One of the things I love about Boris Vitlin’s work is he boldly changes his forms and glazes into something new and unexpected.

Response from Lena
