Ceramic Arts Company c 1895 Ipswich Shanties Arthur Wesley Dow China Painting
About the Item
A Ceramic Art Company "Lenox" tankard circa 1895 decorated with scenes from Arthur Wesley Dow’s woodblock prints. 7.5” This china painted mug was made by Lenox and marked with the underglaze CAC Ceramic Art Company mark. It is decorated with three panels of “Ipswich Shanties” after the American Arts and Crafts movement woodblock print by Arthur Wesley Dow. Dating to circa 1895 and painted by an anonymous china painter, this rare survivor is destined to be enter a major art museum or private collection. Essentially, the American Arts and Crafts style is directly derived from Arthur Wesley Dow and his Japonisme. Although Anonymous, the painter of this mug (if not Arthur or Minnie Dow) likely attended Dow's Ipswich Summer School of Art where the 1892 painting of the same name evolved in 1895 into the famous Ipswich Shanties woodblock print seen on this mug. Presumably, the painter of this tankard had a copy of the print in hand to work from and most of the prints that survive have been found with his estate and the estate of his students in Ipswich, at Pratt or at Teacher's College. In 1897 Lenox hosted the China Painter's Bowl which was a national competition inviting the nations best china painting artists to compete. The decorator of this tankard seems to have fully integrated Dow's Japanese derived concepts of Light and Dark "Notan" and was likely also aware that Dow used color and tone to indicate season. How appropriate for a darker, perhaps winter themed version of Ipswich Shanties to decorate a mug for a winter beverage.

Louisville Pottery Company Daniel Boone Rare Mauve Mid Century Modern Kentucky
By Louisville Pottery Company
Located in Mobile, AL
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...
