Manufacturer: Stanley Ballard, Vermont Produced 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 Ballard piecrust rim 8 inch diameter bowl is the middle size in the line of piecrust bowls. It is a very early piece with the indented base. The base glaze is a very early heavily satured turquoise blue upon which random drizzles of the chocolate brown glaze have been added, making a very nice abstact design, typical of the Mid-Century period and aesthetic. There are some glaze skips in the crimps of the piecrust rim but this is origina to its making. A one-of-a-kind early American Art Pottery bowl by a very talented graduate of Alfred Unversity. It is in excellent condition. It is signed with Ballard's very early loop d signature, mostly likely from the 1945-1950 period.
