Teco Pottery can legitimately be referred to as functional art - art that serves some useful purpose. This fits within the principals of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Many of the Teco Pottery forms were the designs of a group of young Chicago architects involved in the Prairie School style. They had rejected the revival styles of American architecture of the 19th century in favor on the use of wood, stone and clay in simple uncluttered forms. Any ornamentation consisted of geomentrical or natural objects which merged gracefully with the form.
