Brothers, American Art Potteries:
A 1940s-1950s (mid-century modern) console or centerpiece bowl in a stylized petal shape. This is a novel bowl from the Rapp Brothers, owners of American Art Potteries (1947-1961, also Cliftwood and Midwest Potteries, at various times). It is shown on page 157 of the book, Morton Potteries: 99 Years, volume 2, by D. and B. Hall. This lovely bowl measures 10 inches in length, 6.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high. The glaze is a rich frothy pink on the insider and a white-to-brown blended glaze on the outside. There are no chips, fleabites, or cracks; there is some visible crazing (mainly on the base), consistent with age. Price: $15.00.

This
wonderful piece measures about 4 inches wide, and is 3.5 inches high;
it is 3 inches across the exposed footed-ring base. This planter is
in terrific condition, with no chips, cracks, or hairlines. There is
some light glaze at the corners, and some very light mineral stains
on the inside, but otherwise it is in excellent condition. (White spots
are due to camera flash.) |
