Manufacturer: Stanley Ballard, Vermont roduced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard, a student of Glidden Parker at Alfred University in the 1940s who worked in the Burlington area, this shape seems to be one of the early ones by Ballard which didn't make it to the later production period. The vase measures 5 1/2 inches high x 5 1/4 inches wide. The opening is 4 1/4 inches long x 2 3/8 inches wide. Each one I own either has no shape number or is number 21 with the early chocolate brown band around the bottom dating it from his middle period of production. This vase carried neither the shape number nor the Ballard signature which makes it very unusual. The chocolate underglaze can be seen at the top and underneath the mottling on the body. This early white glaze is stunning. There is a slight blue tint to the glaze at the top of the piece. The vase is in excellent condition. A very interesting shape and glaze combo by Stanley Ballard. Add it to your American Art Pottery collection or Studio pottery collection today.
