John Peters and Adam Reed were both employed by the Weller Pottery Company in 1898 when they decided to start their own pottery company. Over the next 22 years, many lines were created including their first successful art pottery line which had a dark brown "Standard Glaze" background with a small amount of molded and applied decorations including flowers, grapes, and portraits. A great many of the shapes in this line have been proven to be Weller molds...

It is green in color with green leaves, and brown and white flowers. The pitcher does have an ice lip on the spout. It measures 8 1/2" at the widest (across the handle and spout) and is 8" tall (at the highest point on the handle)...

This 4-fluted vase was made by The Rookwood Pottery Company. The Company was operational from 1879-1967. This piece was made in 1950, as indicated by the "L" under the Rookwood mark on the base. It is very unique in both shape and color. The shape is bulbous at the bottom, then sort of pinched at the top to form 4 flutes. The glaze is beautiful. It is a mix of black, brown, gray and white on the exterior. The glaze was allowed to just run down the sides of the vase...

The Rookwood Pottery Company was established in Cincinnati Ohio in 1879. While early pieces were hand decorated, pieces after 1900 are said to be "production" pieces. The beauty in these later pieces often comes from the shape and design of the mold rather than hand-painted art work. Most Rookwood pieces are marked with the the reverse "RP". This mark originated in 1886. A "flame" was added (radiating out from the RP mark) for each year up until 1900...

These beautiful candlesticks were made by the Roseville Pottery Company. Since records were not meticulously taken early on, and most of the early pieces of Roseville were not marked, little seems to be known about these candlesticks. They can be found in most Roseville Pottery books. They are called "Decorated and Gold Traced", and are said to have been produced before 1916. They are considered rare...

This is the LID ONLY for a vintage Shawnee cookie jar. Her name is Winnie the Pig...

This pair of Spaniels was made in the Staffordshire district of England. A great number of potteries have made Staffordshire their home since the early eighteenth century. These potteries created figurines which were often made in pairs that mirrored one another; dogs were a favorite. The figurines were most often only decorated on the front as they were meant to be displayed against a wall (sometimes called "flat backs"). Each dog in this pair measures 6" wide, 2.25" deep and stands 7" tall...

These bone dishes are in the popular "Tea Leaf" pattern. The Tea Leaf pattern became popular in the 1880's. Apparently, housewives became bored with the plain white stoneware that was available, so they sought the hand-painted copper luster pattern of bands and leaves originally created by Anthony Shaw. All 3 of these dishes were made by Alfred Meakin, England. Each dish measures 6 5/8" by 3 1/4" by 7/8". Two of the 3 dishes show a very slight discoloration in the bottom (from use), and all...
