A 20th Century Blue Glazed Earthenware Vase from North Carolina Found Yesterday in the Boston Area

I found this circa 1940s or so hand-thrown earthenware vase attributed to the Cole family in North Carolina with a great spotted blue glaze in a vintage type group shop yesterday in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I suspect this shape was inspired after Asian design, whereas interestingly, pottery made by the Cole family was intermittently shipped to Cambridge in the 1900s.

For more information about some of the other pottery made in North Carolina that I have found in the Northeast in the past couple of years - see a recent article I wrote that was published in the September 22, 2023 issue of Antiques & Auction News, titled, A Wide Selection Of 20th Century Pottery From North Carolina Found In New England: A Brief Examination Of Asian-Influenced Pottery From Jugtown Pottery: http://www.earlyamericanceramics.com/2023/09/new-published-story-in-antiques-auction_25.html.
