For Sale I have a great piece of pottery made by the Fulper Pottery Company of Flemington, New Jersey. The shape is a Seven Sided Geometrical Vase with a very interesting glaze combination. The Vase measures 8 3/4" tall and is approximately 2 7/8" in diameter. The Vase depicts a superb example of Elephants Breath blending from deep brown to gray in a Flambe or drip from the top rim. This is applied over an Ivory glaze with some grainy texture that resembles Fulper's Oatmeal Glaze. The Vase has a very organic flavor as the glazes are drippy and thick. The Vase actually leans a little one way however it does not detract from its beauty or take away value from the piece. This would look wonderful in any Arts and Crafts or Mission style home. The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. The Vase is signed on the bottom with the Ink Stamp Rectangle Fulper Mark and dat es it to their earliest time frame. This Vase is known as shape number 445 in the early Fulper Catalog Pages.

For Sale I have a nice piece of Arts and Crafts Pottery made by The Fulper Pottery Company of Flemington, New Jersey. The shape is a Low Bowl or Ferner glazed in Mirror Black over Flemington Green. The Ferner measures 2 3/8" tall and is approximately 8 3/4" in diameter at the widest point. The opening of the bowl measures 6 1/2" wide. The Ferner is glazed in a Mirror Black Flambe mottled with Brown over a Flemington Green with some small Crystals on the interior and exterior of the bowl. The exterior of the bowl is a high gloss finish while the interior bottom of the bowl appears to be Semi Matte. There is a wonderful drip affect on both the interior and exterior which just make the bowl stunning and would look great on any Mission piece of furniture. The Ferner is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. There is a factory flaw on the bottom of the bowl where there is almost like a clay separation that happened during firing. There was probably an imperfection or air bubble in the clay not large enough to cause it to explode during that process. The Bowl is signed on the bottom with the Ink Stamp Rectangle Fulper Mark dating it back to their earliest time frame. This piece is known as shape number 17 in the early Fulper Catalog pages. This Rectangular Inkstamp mark dates this piece to the Vasekraft Years, Circa 1909-1916.   « Less

For sales I have a rather hard to find piece of Art Pottery made by The Hampshire Pottery Company of Keene, NH. The item is called a "Embossed Leaves" Pitcher and it is done in the most desirable Cucumber Green Glaze. The Pitcher stands 8" tall and is 7" in diameter from the tip of the Spout to the outside of the Handle. The Pitcher has one of the nicest Cucumber Green Glazes I have seen on a Hampshire Pottery piece in quite awhile. The Pitcher displays wonderfully embossed Elephant Leaves that wrap around the top half of the vessel. One of the leaves actually folds back along the top opening and it is attached to the Handle. The Handle is also quite interesting. It attached to the body just under the top. It bows out like most Pitcher handles and attaches at the bottom and branches off into 2 sections to form the appearance of Vine. The longer Vine has what looks like a Flower Bud on the end. What a Splendid Realistic Organic Design. The pitcher is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There are a few pin pops in the Glaze and the inside Water Proofing Glaze shows crazing which is very common with these pictures as they were used more often than the Vases. There are a few areas on the Handle that is a little weaker in the Green Glaze as is the edges near and and around the tip of the spout. The piece is unsigned but it displays that renown Hampshire Pottery bottom White Clay with the nicely ground smooth Green Edge. 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 is an Early Piece made by Hampshire Pottery as there isn't even a Shape number in the 1916 Catalog Reprint by George Morton who bought Hampshire Pottery in that same year. George Morton was formerly from Grueby Pottery of Boston Mass. I have had this piece before and it had a shape number 34 incised into the bottom. I would guess this piece was made Circa 1895-1903 as it pre dates the M in a Circle Mark. That Mark was used from 1904-1914 during Cadmon Robertson's tenure. There was no pottery produced from his death in 1914 till 1916, A period of almost 2 years. This will make a wonderful addition to any Matte Green collection of Art Pottery and would look great on that Stickley Mission Arts and Crafts Bookcase.   « Less

For Auction I have an outstanding Matte Green Vase made by The Hampshire Pottery Company of Keene, NH. The Vase is known as the "Corn Maize" Vase and the Glaze doesn't get any better than this. The Vase is rather large as it stands 5 5/8" Tall and is 6" in diameter. This Vase has one of the Nicest Matt Cucumber Green Hampshire Glazes I have ever seen. The Vase displays Two embossed Ears of Corn Nestled between the Corn Husk Leaves. There is one on each side of the Vessel. The Detail is crisp and the Glaze is thick and nicely mottled. The detail in the Ear of Corn and the Leaves is just outstanding!! You can see the Veining in the leaves and the nice and even vertical rows of corn on the ear. Usually the Glaze on these is so thick you loose the detail. That is not the case with this one. 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. The Vase is considered to be in excellent as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The only issues do not affect value. There is some silver marks that I was able to remove some with a Pottery Cleaner and there are Come Pin Pops in the Glaze at the very exterior bottom of the vase. These can only be seen when the vase is turned to its side. The Vase is signed on the bottom with one of Hampshire Pottery earliest Matt Green Marks. It is Signed "JS Taft & Co" "KEENE N". The J is very hard to see and you cannot see the letter H for Hampshire. The JS stood for the founder James Scollay. This piece can be dated based on the "M" in a Circle mark knowledge. This was the mark that Cadmon Robertson used during his tenure with Hampshire Pottery from 1904-1914. The mark on this Vase pre-dates Cadmon Robertson's Tenure. I would say that this was an early piece even earlier than Grueby's Mat Green Production. This Vase was made circa 1891-1896. Those collectors in Matte Green Art Pottery especially those who Collect Hampshire and want a Great example should not let this one pass by. It will look outstanding on that Stickley, Mission Arts and Crafts Style Bookcase.   « Less

The Piece is a Ewer and it is done in Hampshire's most Popular Matte Cucumber Greene Glaze. The Ewer is 6 3/8" tall, 6" wide and 4 1/4" deep. This Ewer displays one of the nicest and softest Mottled Cucumber Green Glazes on a Hampshire Piece that I have ever owned. The Glaze doesn't get any better than this!!

The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. It is signed on the bottom side with the Impressed Hampshire Block Lettering thus dating it to Circa 1916-1917. Hampshire Pottery Marks with the M in a Circle puts the dating between 1904-1914. This piece was made after Cadmon Robertson Death. Thus the Impressed Hampshire in a Horizontal mark is a later mark. This is known as Shape Number 5/2 In the Hampshire Pottery Catalog Line. Hampshire Pottery produced 3 Sizes of this Ewer. This is the smallest and the most Popular of the 3 Sizes. I would consider this an excellent example of this Matt Green Glaze and Shape or Mold Number. Hampshire started producing Matte Glazes in 1891.

For Sale I have a very nice piece of Art Pottery made by Hampshire Pottery of Keene, NH. The item is called a "Chocolate Pot" as it is exactly that. The Pot is done in the much sought after Matte Blue Glaze. The Chocolate Pot is rather large as it stands 10 7/8" tall to the top of the lid. The pot is 6 1/4" in diameter from the outside Spout to the outside handle measurement. The piece displays a unique Pitcher Shape but it has a lid. This is what makes it a Chocolate Pot. The Pot displays a rich deep matte Blue Glaze. There are Embossed Tree like forms on each side of the pitcher. The Trunks connect at the bottom and form a U Shape with each Trunk with their leaves rising up over and almost toughing each other. The Handle is very unique. It has a Buttress appearance and is narrow at the bottom and wider at the top for your hand to fit in comfortably. The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks chips or dings. There is some pitting in the glaze throughout the piece. This is somewhat common with Hampshire Pottery matte blue glazes. The cap appears to be in equally as good condition. There might have been a professional restoration to the cap as the glaze color along the edges appears to be a little bit lighter than the very top. There is a very tiny nick on the inside male extension. This cannot be seen when displayed. The piece is signed with Hampshire Pottery impressed script lettering mark along with the letter "M" in a Circle. There is also the Mold or Shape number "81" on the bottom. This is done in raised relief and was part of the mold. The M in a Circle mark dates this piece to have been made circa 1904-1914. This marked was used during Cadmon Robertson's tenure with Hampshire Pottery. He developed over 900 glazes while employed there. He used this mark to Honor his wife, Emoretta. She was the daughter of the Founder James Scollay Taft who started Hampshire Pottery in 1871. This is a not so commonly found item from Hampshire Pottery in any color. In my research I found 1 of these sold several years ago at a David Rago Auction. He had it listed as a Tankard. He did not realize that this piece originally had a lid. He sold that one in the same exact color for $500 without the lid.   « Less
