About the Item

One of the most charming and rare of the many ceramic creations issued by the Cowan company in suburban Cleveland, this humidor depicts a baby mountain goat atop a peaked humidor, the base decorated with mountains in bas relief. The entire piece is bathed in a brilliant glaze in a turquoise-teal hue. The lid maintains its sponge in the hollow interior, which would have been used to humidify the contents. Cowan only operated for a short time, from 1912 to 1931, but during that time became one of America's leading pottery companies, producing Arts and Crafts and Art Deco artware. During that time, many celebrated artists created pieces for Cowan, including Waylande Gregory, Paul Manship, Viktor Schreckengost and Edward Winter.
