POTTERY

 

American Pottery

 
 
 
 
 
Ever read about William Manker? This potter trained some of the best of California's ceramists. This beautiful 5" bowl is a perfect example of his extreme quality. $225
 
I don't know the maker of this beautiful porcelain Hatpin Holder, but I'll guarantee however that this one is old, and in perfect condition, note the wonderful gold decoration. $325
 
Ok, I'll share, I now have 2 of these very beautiful "Marbleized" 8.25" vases so I'll share one, made in the early 1930s by Peters and Reed Co. called a "Spill" Vase Sold $255
 
I know, this Catalina Island Coffee set should be under Art Pottery, so, I'll put it here also, This set includes an "Toyon Red" Carafe w/ lid, and 6 handled 5" mugs, all are white clay, and all are mint!!! Sold $875. (ALL ONLY)
 
This is a very early pattern of Gladding McBean I've collected for years called Polynesian, I as do others believe this pattern was the beginning of the popular Desert Rose pattern. This is a very nice approx. 9" window case. $265 *note the Encanto piece below
 
 
I hope you'll take the time to open these remarkable pictures, this is a very beautiful 77.5" Figural Flower Frog from the 1940s, note the  flowers decoration above her copper wire hair. Her base is signed "Hermoine" I always thought these were from "Berkley Clay" and recently Jack Chipman has confirmed my belief , this beautiful frog Bust was made at California Faïence, near Berkley . Sold $325
 
Over the years I've found several different items made by Glidden Pottery, it always is exciting to find something different, like this 5" square bowl, this one has a comical rooster. $45
 
This is a Roseville 4" Water Lilly Vase in pink $95
 
It isn't often I come across a piece of Roseville's Juvenile dinnerware that is in as good condition as this wonderful "Standing Rabbit" Child's bowl/plate. Sold $225
 
Sold I bought several pieces of North Dakota School of  Mines from a friend several years ago, but this is the only one I'm ready to sell. This is a 6 inch bowl, signed Mitchell/ Cable, $325
 
I've owned this delightful little "Pan" bowl, made by Niloak (I think) for about 3 years, and have enjoyed him setting up on a shelf, so for $255, I'll take him down and send him to you.
 
 
Well............what can I say? I like Polar Bears, this is an 8" bowl designed and marked "Mathew Adams" form the Alaska line. $85
 
 
 This is the cutest 4 inch pin dish made by Sascha Brastoff, called "Merbaby." Talk about cute, I've been collecting this pattern for years and have another for me. $125
 
I usually look for Pigeon Forge items like their animals, I was surprised to turn this pitcher over and find it's marked the same, this is a "Dogwood" juice pitcher w/ six small tumblers. $95.set
 
 I really love it when I find something that's as nice a find as this. (And know what I'm looking at) This is an "UHL" toothpick holder that is a 3 inch boot with a star at the top, and marked on the base. $175
