For sale is a Splendid Arts and Crafts Style Vase made by the Zanesville Stoneware Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Vase is done in the very desirable Matt Green Glaze and the shape is what we call a "Ovoid" Shaped Vase. The Vase is rather large as it stands 8 5/8" tall and is 6" in diameter at the bulge. The Vase depicts an embossed Stylized Flower on a Stem surrounded by two elongated Leaves on the front and back side. The Matt Green Glaze is wonderful in the Arts and Crafts decorating scheme. The Matt Green Glaze is very similar to Hampshire Pottery's Cucumber Matte Green Glaze. This is one of Zanesville most Popular Patterns and glazes. It was specifically designed to compete against the other Matte green Glazes produced by Weller, Teco, Grueby, Roseville and Hampshire. These were contemporaries to Zanesville at the turn of the Century. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, or chips. The only issues is the usually glaze pops and some crazing and is common with most Zanesville pieces. There is a small area on the lip that shows a minor glaze miss. This is Factory as it was made this way. The Vase is unsigned but it is know as shape number 101. Usually these numbers are impressed into the bottom but for some reason this one is missing it. This is a wonderful form and would look just fine in any early Matte Green Art Pottery Collection. I'm sure it would look just fine on that Stickley Bookcase. This Vase was made in the early 1900's, Circa 1910-1920.   « Less

For sale I have a very Rare piece of Art Pottery made by The Cambridge Pottery Company of Cambridge, Ohio. The Item is a Vase and the pattern is "Lily Pads". It is done in an absolutely beautiful Arts and Crafts Deep Rich Matte Green Glaze. The Vase is a nice cabinet size as it stands 5 3/4" tall and is 3 3/4" in diameter at its widest point. The Vase has a rather interesting shape and I would call it a "Tapered Cylindrical" shape. The Vase depicts a beautiful Arts and Crafts Pattern of "Lily Pads". There are 3 uniquely shape Lily Pads surrounding the vessel. The form is mold made but I firmly believe the definition in the Lily Pads were tooled or enhanced by the Potter. When the thick tooled lily Pad design was added, the form took on more of a hand thrown look. Any unevenness around the rim or in the thickness of the walls is a direct result of the "Tooled" process. It gives this vessel a definitive hand-thrown appearance. Maybe that is what the final applications of the tooling and heavy matte green glaze were indented to create. The definition in the Lily Pads and Stems is wonderful. The Matte Green Glaze is one of the best I have ever seen for richness in color tone. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There are a few areas on the vase that are light in the Glaze. This is common on this form as I have only seen 2 others in my 36+ years as a dealer collector and their glaze was quite similar. The piece is unsigned but it displays that Ohio Valley Clay beneath the matt green glaze. You can see the 3 rectangular shaped stilt marks on the bottom. This helped tremendously in identifying the manufacturer of this Vase. This is a wonderful and Arts & Crafts Style Vase. It has a Great Theme and it is considered quite rare!! I feel the Matte Green Glaze rivals that of Grueby, Weller, Roseville and Hampshire Pottery. This vase was made during the height of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Circa 1900-1910. This would look outstanding on that Stickley Arts and Crafts style Bookcase. I'm quite sure the buyer of this will be quite pleased.   « Less
