About the Item

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. Research is ongoing to identify the examples designed and/or influenced by well known artists or simply a great relatively unknown designer or two deserving of recognition for their work. The JB Speed Art Museum cataloged a slightly smaller gloss green example Accession number 2007.10.9 with the Cherokee Pottery mark which is in a private collection. Another was discovered last year with a gloss version of this glaze and the Kentucky Hand Made mark. This example bears an uncommon Daniel Boone mark. And, the details are crisp. It is by far the most successful example of the form. It dates to the late 30’s or early 40’s and represents a handcrafted version of machine age aesthetics in the South. Yeah, crisp really counts when the aesthetic is placed in context. Information about the history of pottery and various commercial marks can be found in the publication Clear As Mud : Early Twentieth Century Kentucky Art Pottery Edited by Warren Payne.
