Warren Tippett was a renowned New Zealand ceramicist, born on June 19, 1941, in Auckland, New Zealand. He is best known for his unique style of pottery that fused Maori and European motifs to create striking and original works.

Tippett studied at the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1962. After completing his degree, he traveled to Japan to study pottery and wood firing techniques. He was deeply influenced by the Japanese ceramic tradition and incorporated many of its elements into his own work.

In the 1970s, Tippett became interested in Maori culture and began to incorporate Maori designs and motifs into his work. He collaborated with Maori artists to develop a style that blended Maori and European techniques, resulting in his signature style that featured intricate patterns and bold, colorful designs.
