I will show porcelain and ceramic pieces together on
the Pottery page; pottery bowls for kitchen use will
be displayed on the Kitchen Items page. Please email
for additional pictures or information. I am
always happy to help when I can.

SOLD Antique Pottery End of Day Swirl Vase, Terra Cotta
AP109.
Comments: Once again, I have used the "End of Day"
term to describe this very striking multicolor vase.
Very slight sandy texture, but still smooth all
over. No gloss at all, although there are remnants
of what could have been brown glaze on the inside
(picture top right) of
the vase; a small area (second row left) is present
on the outside, as though it dripped while the
inside was being done. Mouth is very slightly
rough, but I believe this to be original to the vase
and not the result of mishandling. Quite heavy for
its size, it has the feel of the very old terra
cotta clay that was nearly burgundy in color, unlike
the flimsy, fragile, peachy-orange terra cotta used
today that breaks if you look at it sideways. The
colors are burgundy, blue, peach/flesh, yellow and
green. The arrangement of the color leaves you with
several display options dependent upon which side
you face forward, as shown by the pictures. It is
unmarked and I have no idea at all who is
responsible for this very desirable vase.

SOLD Antique Pottery End of Day Swirl Vase, Clay AP108.
Comments: I use the term 'End of Day' to describe
the multiple colors swirled all around the vase,
including the base, which is unmarked. It has that
Nemadji look, but it is not one of those "Tourist
Trap" vases; I have no idea who is responsible for
this one. Medium heavy, so not hollow, the color of
the material itself appears to be the dominant bone
color. Using a lighted wand I was able to see that
the inside is that same bone color with hints of the
same swirling that appears on the outside of the
vase. There is green, burgundy/rose and two shades
of blue used on the vase. Small areas of rubbing
indicate that the probable color of the clay is
reddish brown, but that might be some added 'nutmeg
stain' which would mean that the clay itself may be
the bone-white clay called 'Ada' clay. It is a
conundrum I will leave to you to figure out.
Slightly sandy-coarse surface; unglazed.

Antique Pottery Wall Pocket Teapot AP107.
Comments: Unglazed on the bottom, but unmarked in
any way. The colors are particular to so many
different potteries that I wouldn't even hazard a
guess; Hall China used them, so did Hull Art, Morton
Pottery, California Pottery, etc. Could be any of
them or another that I haven't considered. Any road,
it's a lovely wallpocket and would be a nice
addition or start to your collection. The entire
surface has age crazing upon close examination;
nothing that detracts from the presentation.

Antique Pottery Wallpocket Tea Kettle AP106.
Comments: Carmel brown glaze with green leaf and
snow white 'fruit.' The leaf stands away free from
the base, which is interesting in the fact that it
never got broken off. Firing pin marks are clearly
visible on the back of the piece, which is glazed
all over. No chips or cracks. The fruit may or may
not have been cold painted at one time; there is no
evidence to support either conclusion, so it's open
ended and you can paint the fruit if you wish.

Condition: Excellent
Color: Carmel, green, white

SOLD Antique Pottery Rose Bowl, Niloak AP105.
Comments: Lovely matte finish in blue and rose that
Niloak is so well known for. Small area inside at
the base where iit appears that the color has worn
away and an area of what may or may not be
discoloration; it may simply be the way the glaze
was applied but I have photographed it for you
anyway. This shape is the one I think of as a
'melon' or 'cantaloupe' shape.

SOLD Antique Pottery Flower Frog, Swan Pair, Camark?
AP104.
Comments: Possibly Camark, but there is no certainty
so I am pricing it simply as a wonderful figural
flower frog. The shape is a pair of swans back to
back. Semi-matte finish, elegant in its simplicity,
the frog has 24 holes for stems. No chips or cracks;
small area of shelf wear shown in photo where the
color has been worn away to the deep red clay
beneath. Notice too that this is glazed all the way
up on the inside as well as the outside.
AP104 $75.00
Material: Pottery
Condition: Excellent
Color: Eggshell white
Size:
•Depth: 6" across the area for holding stems
•Width: 6 1/4" across the swan bodies
•Height: 7 7/8" approximately

Antique Pottery Vase Hull Art Wildflower AP103.
Comments: Hard to see in photo, but bottom reads:
Hull Art W-6-7 1/2. No chips or cracks, some residue
in the bottom from use. I've heard people use
effervescent denture cleaner for this but am
unwilling to try it myself as you can't unring a
bell. This isn't seen with the vase on a shelf for
display, so it may be best to simply leave it alone.
AP103 $75.00
Material: Pottery
Condition: Excellent
Color: Matte blue, pink, green, yellow
Size:
•Depth: 3"
•Width: 6" across handles
•Height: 7 3/8" approximately

Antique Pottery Vase Hull Art Wildflower AP102.
Comments: Hard to see in photo, but bottom reads:
Hull Art W-5-6 1/2 and there is an incised B along
the edge. No chips or cracks. Some residue in the
bottom from someone using it as a vase or planter. I
have not attempted to clean it because I am not sure
what to use and would rather leave it alone since it
is not visible in the course of normal display.
AP102 $65.00
Material: Pottery
Condition: Excellent
Color: Matte blue, pink, green, yellow
Size:
•Depth: 2 3/4"
•Width: 6" across handles

Antique Pottery Flower Frog, Nude, Cowan? Camark?
AP101.
Comments: I am uncertain of the maker of this frog.
Camark or possibly Cowan? In any event, she is
beautiful, and the only flaw is the small base chip
you see in picture 3, and another smaller one just
outside the range of the picture, further to the
right. They are probably factory flaws, but
nonetheless I wanted you to be aware of them. This
one has 10 holes for flowers, and is glazed on the
bottom also. It is an all-over rich goldenrod color
with random nutmeg speckling. The only way I have
ever seen this frog before has been in white.
AP101 $125.00
Material: Red Clay Pottery
Condition: Very Good
Color: Yellow
Size:
•Depth: Base, 4 1/2"
