This is some really great information that I just learned about a bowl or bell vase that I posted on this website last week that I found in Rowley, Massachusetts, and made in Seagrove, North Carolina in the 1920s. This information is from the Jugtown Pottery Museum in Seagrove, and this is only the second bowl like this known to them, whereas the bowl I found was most likely sold through a store in Manhattan in the 1920s.
According to the Jugtown Pottery Museum, "Jugtown also has one of these early bowls in our museum. It is glazed in white with wonderful copper (most likely copper, chrome can render a similar color) decoration, brushed quickly and skillfully. It has grooves, made possibly with a finger or knuckle, while the pot was still turning on the treadle wheel. It also traveled north early in the 1900s before returning home. Jacques Busbee was very drawn to Asian design. This piece is unusual; who made and decorated it? We do not have a definitive answer yet, but are so happy to see another one."
