JB Cole Mottled Green Vintage Vase Made at JB Cole Pottery, in their mottled green glaze. This is thrown so thinly that I suspect it may have been done by Nell Cole Graves. The top edge has been pinched to give that ruffled look. Hand thrown piece measures 5 3/4" high by about 7" handle to handle. Hairline crack developing on the base of one of the handles - not all the way through though. Circa 1950's.

Vintage Southern Folk Pottery Teapot Great vintage piece of hand thrown pottery, in the form of a handled teapot with a lid. Nice medium sky blue glaze. Strap handles on the top and the side. Unmarked on the bottom. Measures 7 1/2" high by 8" at its widest (including the handle). The matching lid has an obvious chip, but hey, at least it's there! The pot is in very nice condition. There are two minor glaze nicks on the bottom outside foot of the pot. A small glaze nip on the inside lip of the pot and two really small glaze nips on the spout. This vintage teapot looks to be from the 1950's. (#X-1003)

Hand Thrown Pot with Cool Drippy Glaze Although this has the maker's incised mark on the bottom, which is a " W / M " - I do not know who made it. Outstanding, gloppy, lava type glaze. Rutile looking - has dark browns and tans, going over heavy matte green. A bulbous vase shape with a slightly elongated neck. The pot measures 6 1/2" high by about 5 1/2" at its widest. Very heavy, and very thickly glazed. One small glaze nip to the top outside lip. At one time I was convinced this was a piece of southern folk pottery, but I'm truly not sure. (#X-1004)

Southern Folk Pottery Ring Jug This is a huge hand thrown pottery ring vase, measuring 9 1/2" in diameter (across the center) and 11" from top to bottom. The glaze is marvelous - starting with a deep rich high glaze brown and "spots" of blues and cream throughout. There is a cipher inscribed on the top. I have not identified the maker. It's a capital B with an unknown initial in the top and a "T" in the bottom - left side is 76 - which I am assuming means this was made in 1976. Two tiny rim flakes around the neck edge. These were also called harvest jugs". (#T-1293)
