About the Item

This richly colored Bauer Co. oil jar is a great addition to any home. Bauer was in business from the late 1880's until the 1960's. The company moved from Kentucky to California in 1910. At the height of the colorful pottery craze, Bauer produced these desirable oil jars. We personally have a small collection of these jars that we will be offering here on 1st dibs. The oil jars were the only pieces that grabbed our attention. The shape and brilliant colors really attracted us. This green jar is a rarer size and hard to find, as it is quite a bit smaller than the next size up. Will fit anywhere in the home. These jars come in 3 sizes, and this is the smallest. After being dealers and collectors since the early 1970's, it's time to let some other folks enjoy these beautiful pieces.

Pisgah Forest Ginger Jar with Lid, North Carolina Art Studio Pottery, 1930s
By North Carolina Pottery
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Beautiful rounded ginger jar with lid features complex green craquelure glaze; the glaze is fluctuating between forest green and deep celadon green hues, is in high gloss finish, and is smooth to the touch. The inner surfaces are finished with semi-gloss off-white glaze. The jar is in good vintage condition; it is marked and dated on the bottom with one of the earlier, round marks, "N.C. Pisgah Forest West Ashville, Route 19" with the date and potter at the wheel logo (see Kovel's American Art Pottery Marks, p. 149). Inspired by the Arts & Crafts Movement, Walter B. Stephen and his mother began their first pottery, Nonconnah, near Memphis, Tennessee about 1904. Without prior experience, they produced slip-decorated pottery of exceptional merit. Stephen moved to Skyland, North Carolina, in 1913, where he established a second Nonconnah Pottery, the first full-time art pottery in the state. In 1926, Stephen began the operation of his third pottery, Pisgah Forest. Here he explored Oriental glazes and forms, pioneered the first crystalline glazes in the South, and developed his cameo wares which resemble English Wedgewood jasperwares. Pisgah Forest and Nonconnah pottery have gained national recognition from numerous museums and private collectors. Major exhibitions of Stephen’s work have been held at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC, the Asheville Art Museum, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art in Tennessee, American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, California, the McKissick Museum in Columbia, SC, North Carolina Museum of History, Raleigh, NC, and Southern Highland Craft Guild, Asheville, NC.
