For Sale I have a Lovely piece of Art Pottery made by Peters & Reed of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern line is called "Landsun" and it is done in their ever popular Blue with Cream Glaze. The Form is what I would call a Ferner or Planter. The Ferner stands 2" tall and is 6 1/8" in diameter at the Shoulder or roll in the piece. The Glaze is a very pleasing one as it display a very nice Semi Matte Robins Egg Blue Glaze with very nice Cream Colored Mottling. The Cream Glaze is applied over Peters and Reed's Choice of Red Clay. This give this line that added density for this pattern line. Peters and Reed Pottery was made extremely well as the piece has good weight. When you hold this in your hand you can feel the strength and density in the piece. The Ferner or Planter is considered to be in excellent condition. There are no cracks. nicks, chips or dings. This is truly an excellent example both in form and in Glaze Combination. The piece is unsigned but this Pattern has been a Favorite among Arts and Crafts Pottery Collectors for Years. You can see the Red Clay that was used on the base of the foot. Peters and Reed were one of the few Ohio Potters that used Red Clay. This is one of our ways of Identifying the Manufacturer of unsigned pieces. The other in this case is the Glaze. There is no doubt that this is Peters and Reed Pottery in their famous Landsun Glaze. Peters and Reed Pottery (1897-1919) was bought out in 1920 and the name was changed to Zane Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio. They still produce some of the same styles as Peters and Reed. They changed from Red Clay to White Clay Products in 1926. This product display the Red Clay underneath, thus the provenance. This Vase would look great in any Mission, Arts and Crafts, Country or Shaker decor. The piece is made, Circa 1921-1925.
