About the Item

A gorgeous Newcomb Pottery vase thrown by master potter Joseph Meyer. He was at Newcomb for around 30 years, between 1897 and 1927. Decorated by Sadie Irvine, with relief-carved berry and leaf motif. Matte glaze with blue, green and pink underglaze. We have included a photo of the marks on the bottom of the bowl: the Newcomb mark, potter's mark of Joseph Meyer, reg. # QA34, and shape #230. Fine condition. Beautiful buff grayish-blue glaze. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans. If you are reading this it is probably because you are already familiar with Newcomb Pottery, but here's some information from Wikipedia, and there is a wealth of information about it online should you wish to learn more: "Newcomb Pottery, also called Newcomb College Pottery, was a brand of American Arts & Crafts pottery produced from 1895 to 1940.[1] The company grew out of the pottery program at H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, the women's college now associated with Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Pottery was a contemporary of Rookwood Pottery, the Saturday Evening Girls, North Dakota pottery, Teco and Grueby. Newcomb College had been founded expressly to instruct young Southern women in liberal arts.[2] The art school opened in 1886 and production of art pottery on a for-profit basis began in 1895 under the supervision of art professors William Woodward, Ellsworth Woodward, and Mary Given Sheerer.[3][4][5] Potters Among the first persons to be hired by the Woodwards to assist with the new pottery program were the potters. Unlike the artists who created and carved the designs for the Pottery, the potters were all men, as it was believed that a "male potter would be needed to work the clay, throw the pots, fire the kiln and handle the glazing."[6] The first potter hired was Jules Garby in 1895. He was followed by one of Newcomb Pottery's most recognized potters, Joseph Meyer, in 1896. Notably, George Ohr was hired as a potter at approximately the same time as Joseph Meyer, but Ohr left Newcomb to work on his own sometime in 1897.[6] Meyer's cipher is found on more pieces of Newcomb College Pottery than any other person.[6] Meyer won awards for his work at Newcomb at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo and the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Centennial Exposition.[6] Meyer stayed with the Pottery until his retirement in 1927. He was replaced by Jonathan Hunt in 1927 and later Kenneth Smith in 1929. After Hunt left the Pottery in 1933, he was replaced by Francis Ford. Both Smith and Ford stayed with the Newcomb Pottery program through its termination in 1940.[6] Craftsmen When the Pottery was first established, any woman who studied art at Newcomb College was allowed to sell wares that she had decorated, provided it was judged to be adequate for sale by the faculty at the school.[6] Over the years, the Pottery employed dozens of women. Some early Newcomb College artists included:[6] Sadie Irvine Harriet Coulter Joor Selina Bres Marie and Emilie De Hoa LeBlanc Cynthia Littlejohn Mazie T. Ryan Sarah (Sallie) Henderson Henrietta Bailey Frances Lawrence Howe Cocke Roberta Kennon Sara B. Levy Ada Lonnegan Mary Given Sheerer Leona Nicholson Amelie and Desiree Roman Eventually the women who worked regularly with the Pottery were designated as craftsmen with a preference given to those who had completed an undergraduate degree and a later graduate studies program with the art department.[6] As the Pottery grew and expanded, new craftsmen joined the program including:[6] Anna Frances Simpson Aurelia Arbo Juanita Gonzales Corinne Chalaron Lucia Arena While the craftsmen did not typically pot their own pieces, they were responsible for creating and carving designs for each piece of pottery the program put out. During the lifespan of the Pottery, over 70,000 unique pieces were created and carved by the women.[7] Pottery Early pieces at the Pottery closely reflected the arts and crafts era in which the Pottery was operating. The pottery often depicted Louisiana's local flora, done in blue, yellow and green high glazes. The high point of Newcomb is generally considered to be from 1897 to 1917. During that period the Pottery experimented with various glazes and designs, and won numerous awards at various exhibitions throughout the country and in Europe. As the school entered the 1920s, new professors arrived and began to introduce influences from the 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art. Highly carved pieces done in matt glazes of blue, green and pink marked this period. Perhaps one of the most famous Newcomb Pottery designs, the "Moon & Moss" style was introduced in this period."
