When I started actively looking for twentieth century North Carolina art pottery in the northeast about six months ago with my niece Alexis - my goal was to learn about the material, a subject that I knew very little about, as well as to see what I could find. My reasoning was that I knew a great amount of it was imported to the northeast in the early years of production, mainly through a store in Manhattan, and later by way of another store in Cambridge, Mass.
It is kind of funny, though because I think we have covered pretty much the entire region, although I never thought I would find any of the Han jars that were made at Jugtown in Seagrove, North Carolina in the 1920s and 1930s. These objects were modeled after actual ancient Chinese vases displayed during this period at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Nonetheless, I acquired my third prized example the other day - a dogwood white glazed vase that was modeled after ancient glazes produced in Japan and China. The base is impressed, "JUGTOWN WARE."A Newly Acquired Han Vase from Jugtown in Seagrove, North Carolina
