Featured Vase?

This vase has me stumped. Some say it looks like unmarked Fulper, but the base is all wrong. You can see gauze strips coming through some areas of the vase. I had several dealers express extreme interest in it while I was walking around with it in my hands. Could it be North Carolina pottery? Fulper? What? Thanks in advance.

 

Nice!

 

Have no ideas, but I love it.

 

Really, really nice. I think you're on the right track with a Southern pottery.
How big is it?

 

Thanks...it's 6 1/2" tall and about 20" around.

 

Those handles and colors make me think Mexican or south American,but what do I know?

 

Definitely not Fulper. I do think North Carolina in origin. Maybe an early Cole piece?

 

Definitely North Carolina. Best guess is A.R. Cole c1940s. On a side note, there was a North Carolina potter that turned some for Fulper. The name is escaping right now.

 

Thanks CRS and thanks for your comments too, verybrad and johnny. CRS, what leads you to believe it is North Carolina? Any idea about those gauze strips? Never seen them on pottery before.

 

Jollyrancher & Don, there are at least 2 examples of pots with the double handles and one of those is a multi-glaze similar to this one but different color combination in A. Everette James book. jollyrancher, gauze strips? I'm sorry but I don't see the gauze strips

 

I'm guessing that "guaze strips" effect is from the wet clay sitting on a window screen for some reason...? I don't think any kind of fabric could survive through the kiln firing.

*crs*, if you enlarge the pics of the bottom to full size, you can see the patches that look like woven cloth.

The clay looks white-ish. Is it possible it's Kentucky pottery? Selden Bybee? Waco?

It looks like it was worked off the wheel with a serrated putty knife. Very messy looking on the bottom.

What color clay did Ben Owen use?

 

Hi Skeezix,
Did not know you liked Stangl. I got rid of most of mine. I had a set of what looked like Thistle but was bright blue instead of green. I gave them to a niece. It was only five pieces 2 cups and three saucers. Most of mine went in yard sales over the years. I had two very large plates which were solid dark forest green which I never could find either. I wonder if I still have them.

I had quite a few pieces of Stangl plates and bowls that I think my mother probably bought new. I don't know the different lines or names... these had fairly bright primary colors, with fruit designs and maybe also flowers.

My mother gave them to me in the '70s and I used them for years, then sold them to someone about 15 years ago. I wish I'd hung onto them.

 

Just did a quick Google search, and I think I probably only had fruit patterns... I think the plates, or at least some of them, had wide yellow borders. I remember bowls that were brown on the outside and had little "handles" molded in.

 

I have a question about the vase in this thread. If I came across it, I would have thought it was a studio pottery piece from an unknown potter. How can you tell a piece is more likely a from a collectible production house... just signature, glazes and style?

 

Ok, I see them now Laura. I agree with your assessment. Pat, correct, with something like this you you have to look at the shape and glazes.Signature always helps

 

Just want to say....I LIKE IT !!!

 

Oh, I like it, too!
