For sale I have a Very Beautiful Tile made by The Rookwood Pottery Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The piece is called a "Tea Trivet" Tile. It is a very pleasant size as it measures 5 5/8" Square and is only 5/8" Tall. The Tile Displays a very beautiful Southern Belle Lady in her Long Gown and Bonnet along with a Shawl wrapped around her shoulders. There are wonderful vivid pastel colors of Rose, Sage Green, Periwinkle Blue and Purples. These are against a background of a creamy matte white Glaze. The tile sits on 8 applied feet on the bottom. There are a lot of Glaze Colors in this Tile. I can count 8 different Glazes in it. The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The only issue to report is some minor peppering in the different glazes around the tile. This happens quite often with the Tea Trivet Tiles. When you put a much lighter colored tile in the oven after much darker items were in the oven beforehand the lighter glaze can pick up small pepper spots in the glaze. There is also a very minor glaze skip on the side of the tile. I have shown a picture of this. This does not hurt the Value what so ever. The piece is signed with the Impressed Reverse RP Rookwood Pottery and Sunburst Logo along with the Roman Numerals "XX" for the year of manufacture, 1920. There is also the mold number "3070" impressed just below the date. This is a quality Tile made one of America's foremost Pottery Manufacturers of the early 20th Century. I'm quite sure the luck buyer will be very pleased with their Purchase!!   « Less

On each side of the Vase is a Brown Pine cone nestled between Pine Needles that protrude out from the bottom and top. These pine needles extend out from the Pine cone. The Pine cone is Crisper and more detailed on one side than the other. One of the Pine cones sits at the top of one handle on one side and the bottom of the handle on the opposite side. The inside has a wonderful creamy beige glaze and is extremely clean inside. This was Frank Ferrell's most popular design that he ever created while working at The Roseville Pottery Company. In fact, the company would have had to close it doors if it wasn't for the success of this line in the Mid to Late 1930's. The Pinecone line was considered the most Popular Line ever made at Roseville Pottery and that is still evident today. There are 4 colors that the Pinecone Line was made in and they are Blue, Brown, Green and Pink. Pink Commands the Highest Price and is Rarely seen.

For sale is a splendid Arts and Crafts piece of Art Pottery made my Hampshire Pottery of Keene, New Hampshire. The Piece is a "Chamber Stick" or "Candlestick". The Glaze is done in Hampshire's most Popular Matte Cucumber Greene Glaze. The Ewer is 2 1/2" tall and 4" in diameter. This Chamber Stick displays a very nice Mottled Cucumber Green Glaze. The Glaze has wonderful charcoaling throughout!! The Deep Matte Cucumber Green Glaze Rivals any Matte Green Glaze produced by Grueby Faience of Boston, Mass. The Candlestick is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There is a area on the inside of the candle holder that is a little light in the green glaze. On the opposite side is a glaze pin pop inside the candle hole. The Candlestick or Chamber Stick is signed on the bottom side with the Impressed "Hampshire Pottery" Script Lettering plus the Mold or Shape Number "145" in raised relief. It also has the incised M inside a Circle mark. This dates this piece to Circa 1904-1914. These were the years that Cadmon Robertson worked and managed Hampshire Pottery. He used this mark as a tribute to his wife Emoretta, who was the daughter of the Founder, James Scollay Taft in 1871. Hampshire 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. I would consider this an excellent example of this Matt Green Glaze in both form and Glaze. This will make a wonderful addition to any matte Pottery collection of Art Pottery and would look great on that Stickley Mission Arts and Crafts Bookcase.   « Less

The inside of the Bowl measurements are 6 3/8" in diameter. The Bowl has a very pleasing Blue background Glaze with the Background behind the Pine Needles being a lightly peppered sand colored Glaze. The Vase depicts very realistic handles in the form of branches joined to a Pinecone with Green Needles protruding from the Cone. The Pine cone itself has very nice detail done in a light brown glaze color. The inside of the bowl is very clean and shows a wonderful Speckled Tan-light brown Glaze. This was Frank Ferrell's most popular design that he ever created while working at The Roseville Pottery Company. In fact, the company would have had to close it doors if it wasn't for the success of this line. The Pinecone line was considered the most Popular Line ever made at Roseville Pottery and that is still evident today.

More than likely this was the finishers number and Artist Initial. I also saw in impressed number 7. I would assume that was a different finishers number as I rarely see an incised number on the bottom of Roseville pieces. This is a quality piece of Art Pottery that will enhance any art pottery collection, especially those of you who collect Roseville Blue Pinecone. The Bowl or Planter was made Circa 1935-1940.   « Less

For sale is a very nice piece of Art Pottery made by Hampshire Pottery of Keene, NH. The item is called a "Tankard" or "Mug". The Tankard is done in the much sought after Matte Green Glaze. The Tankard is a nice size as it stands 5 1/2" tall and is 5" in diameter from the outside Handle measurement. The Tankard has a wonderful Matt Cucumber Green Glaze. This Glaze was a trademark of Hampshire Pottery. The Tankard displays an embossed Holly Leaf and Berry pattern at the top of the Vessel. This Pattern surrounds the entire top of the Tankard. There is a wonderfully applied handle that appears to have reeded beads running vertically from the bottom to the top on each side of the Handle. The Handle has what looks like a Leaf on the flat exterior side when viewed closely. It also acts as a thumb rest when holding the Tankard. The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks chips or dings. There is some crazing in the glaze and this really adds dimension to the Cucumber Green Texture. There is also a shadow of what appears to have been a paper label that was on the bottom of the piece. The piece is signed with Block Letter "JST & CO KEENE NH." Impressed Mark. This can clearly be seen. I believe this to be a very early mark prior to Cadmon Robertson's tenure with Hampshire. This would make this piece Circa 1891-1903. Hampshire Pottery was producing a Matt Green Glaze 7 Years ahead of Grueby. Grueby started producing matte green pottery in 1898. This is a not so commonly found item from Hampshire Pottery in Matt Green. This is an Excellent Example in both Form and Glaze. Those of you who are decorating in the Arts and Crafts, Mission style will surely welcome this beauty. It would look just outstanding on that Stickley Bookcase.   « Less
