Rapp Brothers, American Art Potteries:
Stylized Petal Design, Console Bowl
 

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.

Lovely Pink and Purple
Pagoda Planter

Morton Pottery, Illinois

The glaze on this very lovely planter is a rich pink with contrasting purple streaks on the "roof." The shape is shown in the Morton Pottery encyclopedia (by Hall) on page 202, from the 1950s.

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.)
Price: $5.00.
