He is known for wood-fired stoneware and low-fired earthenware.  His pottery is found in both simple earth tones and in brightly colored pieces inspired by Spanish pottery of the Renaissance.  His pottery is found in the New Orleans Museum of Art; Gardiner Museum, Toronto; Scripps College, Claremont, CA; Nora Eccles Harrison Museum  of Art, Logan, UT; San Angelo Museum of Fine Art, TX; and the Kamm Teapot Foundation, Statesville, NC.

This jar recently emerged from a very long time in storage.  It is exquisitely potted with a Large Fish on Each Side in Browns, Blues, and Greens.  The fish is swimming in the waves and seaweed.  It is signed on the underside, "Busbee" and dates from the late 1980's.  Stands 10 1/4" tall to the top of the knob on the lid.  
 
Excellent Condition. A minor 1/8" glaze flake on the top edge of the lid.  Otherwise, as made.
