The Louisville Pottery company used a variety of stamps and sold to touristy shops with marks including Cherokee, Great Smokey Mountains, Daniel Boone, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky Hand Made and more. Most of them are small pitchers and vases in traditional forms. But, then there are occasional exceptions and over time we have all learned that major designers including Frederic Hurten Rhead (over at Selden Bybee) were working in the area.

A truly spectacular work - a hand painted bird bowl by French-born, American Bauhaus-trained master ceramic artist, educator, and author Marguerite Wildenhain. The color, feel of the work, and radiant glaze are something to behold. Marguerite Wildenhain was born to a British mother and a German father.

During her time at Bauhaus, Wildenhain studied alongside painters Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky and she worked closely with sculptor Gerhard Marcks and potter Max Krehan.
