Vermont Studio potter Stanley Ballard (1917-1960) graduated from Alfred University's highly respected Ceramic Program in 1939, having studied there while these influential teachers were part of the faculty: Marion Fosdick, Charles Harder, Clarence Merritt, and C. Katherine Nelson.

From 1937-1939 he was a classmate of Glidden Parker. He had his studio in Burlington Vermont from 1946 -1960 until his untimely tragic death in February 1960.


Produced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard who worked in the Burlington area, this #52 planter/vase measures 12 1/4 inches long x 3 1/4 inches wide. It uses his later turquoise blue glaze. This is the same basic shape of the earlier console center bowl but this shape does not have the three line stripes in the center. Excellent condition.
