I first learned about this potter's work after discovering a green glazed vase in a small shop in central New Hampshire, although, a few years later, a pitcher made by this potter was shown to me in a private collection in California. And now, I have noticed that in Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates upcoming auction in Mount Crawford, Virginia that a pitcher made by this potter is included in the sale.
I would really like to learn more about the identity of this potter, but I currently have no evidence beyond these three pieces. I compare this production to pottery that is sometimes found today marked "FREY" on the base, which to my knowledge, the location and history of this business has not been identified, even through it is thought to have been an accomplished American pottery. The most prominent example of Frey Pottery known today is likely a blue glazed jar owned by the American Folk Art Museum in New York City.
