While visiting Bennington, Vermont last month for the Stoneware Collector's Group pottery sale, I happened to see this early twentieth century salt-glazed stoneware vase with some cobalt highlights and a brown glazed interior; it was brought to the show by Robesonia, Pennsylvania antiques dealer Greg Kramer, although it previously sold at Pook & Pook in Downington, Pennsylvania on June 26, 2024: https://live.pookandpook.com/online-auctions/pook/arts-and-crafts-stoneware-vase-signed-e-warwick-6358840.
There were two characteristics about this vase that really spoke to me: one being that the shape reminded me of ancient styles, as well as some vases made at the William Grueby Pottery in Boston in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; and second the vase was inscribed on the base "E. Warwick / Jan 1910," along with the number "322."
Additionally, I have previously written about some of the early salt-glazed stoneware potters on this website to manufacture art pottery, such as Susan S. Frackelton (1848-1932) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, along with a feature story I wrote published on pages 50-51 in the February 9, 2024 issue of Antiques And The Arts Weekly, titled, The Salt-Glazed Stoneware Made By Russell Crook, South Lincoln, Mass. But this is the first time that I have seen a salt-glazed stoneware vase marked with the name of "E Warwick."
