Pewabic Pottery Vase...possibly
13 February 2018
Description

This is a piece of pottery that I picked up at a recent estate sale. It was kind of put back over in a corner, but I liked the way it looked and bought it. It stands approximately 7.25" tall and is about 6" side-to-side. The iridescent blackish-grey glaze caught my eye as well as the lovely shade of blue around the opening of the vase. This vase weighs about 1 pound 7 ounces. It's in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, or repairs. I couldn't find a maker's mark on it anywhere. However, I've read that sometimes paper labels were used. Also this vase appears to be hand made... it has slight ridges on the exterior of the vase. I have read online information about Mary Chase Stratton Perry in Detroit and her work creating the "pewabic" glaze.

Provenance

This vase was owned by a German couple. Most of their pottery and porcelain was European, but they did have a few Native American pieces and other types of pieces that appear to be from the United States. Many of the other vases they owned were collectible. It made me wonder about this one. I bought this one at the estate sale at their home for $5.00.

What does this mean?

This pottery vase does not quite strike as Pewabic Art Pottery. Their glazes are usually thicker, mostly matte glazed and some iridescent. This is not an iridescent glaze, not is it thick. Nevertheless, the Pewabic Pottery is still up and running so it is recommended to contact them for an opinion. Their pieces are usually marked, however. The estimate is based on auction prices of recent Pewabic art pottery vases and used just as comparables.
