San Jose Pottery Bookends
These bookends are very nice examples of the work done by San Jose Potteries in San Antonio, Texas. The scene depicted on each book end is a cock fight. Shown in the scene are three men wearing colorful clothing and donning sombreros. They are watching two cocks fighting. There is a large cactus in the right background and another palm type plant on the left side. This is done in wonderful vibrant glaze colors - 8 glaze colors! Each measures approximately 7" high by 5 3/4" wide, by 2 3/4" in depth.
Dating to circa 1930-1940. Both bookends are in excellent condition - no cracks, chips or repairs. A fabulous example to go nicely with a tile or pottery collection! (#T-1864)

Merit Tiles Pottery Vase
A classic shape to this pottery vase made by Merit Tiles. This is the only piece I've ever seen by this company. Norman Karlson lists a Merit Tile Company in Rockport, Indiana - age is unknown - the quality of the piece is excellent. Stands 6" high and about 3" in diameter near the bulbous base. Two glazes - one a shiny pale blue to blue green - the other a semi crystalline gold/yellow/brown. Beauty in its simplicity. In excellent condition. (#T-1385)
