For Sale is a very unusual piece of pottery made by a factory in Japan to compete with Weller's well known and desirable pattern, Coppertone. The shape is a vase or figural vessel and measures approximately 4" tall, 4 3/4" in overall length and 3 3/4" deep. The Vase depicts a frog clinging to a Water Lily in full bloom perched upon a lily pad. The frog and lotus blossom have crisp details and is molded from an original Weller Coppertone frog as it is the same exact size and form everyone is familiar with. The difference is all in the high gloss Jade Green glaze accented with pink highlights for the details. There is also a slight frothy white glaze around the edge of the lily pad and tips of the flower petals. The piece is signed on the bottom with an impressed "MADE IN JAPAN" in block letters. It is somewhat difficult to see and when I first picked up this little piece I was baffled that I had never come across a Coppertone piece in a high gloss glaze before. Imagine my surprise after closer examination to find out it is a vintage import. The clay on the bottom is even close to the color of Ohio Valley Clay. The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. There is a firing line or separation of the clay by the center hole on the bottom that happened during manufacturing and does not show or hurt the value. This is rather a rare find. You can search the Internet and Ebay and you will have a problem in finding a similar one. I have never seen one before this one and I have collected and sold Weller Coppertone for some 38 Years. The Vase was more than likely made sometime during the 1930's.   « Less

For sale is a beautiful Amphora art pottery vase made by Reissner, Stellmacher and Kessel who was considered the best manufacturer of this type of pottery. The Vase is rather large as it measures 7 3/8" tall and is approximately 7 3/4" in diameter. The outside rim measures approximately 4 1/4" and the mouth measures 2 3/4" wide. The Vase depicts a wonderfully detailed Rooster in a barnyard scene with what appears to be Birch trees in the foreground and nice fields with trees in the background. This painting is done in various shades of Blue and White with nice outline details of both the rooster and the trees. This is all on the belly or the bulge of the vessel. The bottom third of the vase is done in a classic amphora iridescent cobalt blue background glaze with mauve mottling. There is a nice raised gilded decorative pattern over the blue glaze with circles and scallops that is quite pleasing. There is also a raised gilded dot to accent each scallop in the pattern The top rim of the Vase is also gilded in gold. The Vase is considered to be in Very Good to Excellent condition as there are no cracks in this lovely piece. There is some minor flaking to the gilding at the base of the vessel where it has been set down too hard or from spinning the vase on the surface instead of picking it up and turning it to view the scene. It does not detract from the piece however as the main subject matter is the proud rooster strutting his stuff for the ladies! There is also a few of the raised dots with small surface glaze chips that do not detract from its beauty and finally some wear to the gilding on the top rim. The Vase is marked with a Red ink stamp that reads "R St. K TURN TEPLITZ BOHEMIA" surrounding a kiln in a circular manner as well as the words "MADE IN AUSTRIA". There is also an incised mark in an oval that reads "AMPHORA AUSTRIA". Finally there are impressed block numbers that read "3264" with the number "26" impressed underneath that. The first Amphora manufacturer was Reissner, Stellmacher and Kessel beginning in 1892 and they were recognized for their superior quality. They had many unusual forms with spectacular glazes. There were many other potters in the Turn-Teplitz region as well however. R St. & K's was introduced to the United States in 1893 at the Chicago World Fair and they were awarded "Best in Show". In 1905 Stellmacher left the company to start his own business and R St. & K's name was changed to Amphora Werke Reissner. There is the possibility that this Vase was decorated by Paul Dachsel. This Vase was made Circa 1892-1905.   « Less

The Vase has a wonderful matte Sage Green Glaze that is pretty uniform throughout. The Texture of the Glaze is rather unique as it strongly resembles that of an Alligator's Skin. One half of the Vase has this heavy texture with the other side being smooth like the underside of an Alligator. You can see undertones of a deep mauve on the smooth side. The Bottom edge displays that beautiful ground down, smooth round bottom edge. Hampshire Pottery made 4 versions of this very popular form. This form was the 2nd largest of this form. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There is a dimple on the smooth side along the Shoulder. I believe this was purposely made this way. It also has crazing on the heavy texture side. I also believe this was done on purpose as well. There is a an area on the Textured shoulder side that has a Semi-Gloss finish. This is also factory. I have pictured all of these for you to view. The vase is signed on the bottom with the incised "Hampshire Pottery" in Script letters along with the letter "M" in a Circle to Honor his Wife "Emoretta". She was the Sister of the founder, James Scollay Taft. There is also the mold or pattern number "18/3" impressed as well. This form was the 2nd largest of this form. The other size were 18/1, 18/2, and 18/4 the largest. Hampshire Pottery started producing Matte Glazes in 1891. This was 7 years earlier than their main Competitor Grueby Faience of Boston, Mass. Hampshire Pottery resembles the style of Grueby but were much more affordable as they were mold made pieces as opposed to hand thrown. This piece can be dated based on the "M" in a Circle mark. This was the mark that Cadmon Robertson used during his tenure with Hampshire Pottery. This vase was made, circa 1904-1914. Shoulder vases from Hampshire Pottery are becoming very hard to find.
