His work has been described as "sculpture whose subject was pottery" by the French government, which awarded him a fellowship and residency at the Manufacture national de Sevres in Paris, famed for its porcelains since the 1750s. Saxe was commissioned by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, to create a piece in response to the museum's permanent collection for their first exhibition of contemporary art (spring, 2000). His installation featured seven large porcelain and stoneware sculptures presented on the Getty's 18th century French Rococo gilded furnishings. His work is handled by most major ceramic galleries including the Frank Lloyd Wright Gallery.
