Rare Bybee Pottery Large Mug, Blue Spongeware Kentucky Art Pottery
About the Item
Rare large mug was handmade by Bybee Pottery and hand decorated in their trademark blue spongeware style.
Bybee Pottery is an art pottery in Madison County, Kentucky USA, that was operated by various members of Cornelison family from 1809 to 2019. While the earliest sales records start from 1845, even this later date makes the pottery the oldest industry in Madison County. Their pieces are made of local red clay that is mined close to the pottery; each piece is thrown and shaped by hand. The glaze is applied with intentional imperfections, such as glaze skips, to emphasize handmade processing and rustic appeal of the pieces.
The mug measures 4.5" tall with 3" opening. It is clearly signed on the bottom; it's in good vintage condition with no signs of use.
