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 signed Ballard #83 10 inch dark gray sgraffito decorated vase is simply stunning! It is done in what I call the Zig Zag pattern. It is one of Ballard's largest pieces and a great example of an incised decoration that was popularized by such firms as Raymor Italy. It is in excellent condition.
The bottom of the vase also has the standard Ballard signature and the number 83 and both are filled in with the dark grey glaze. There appears to be the beginnings of a hairline crack on the very bottom of the piece but it is a tight hairline and could have happened in the manufacturing process. As it is a duplicate for me, I have priced it very reasonably.
Add it to your Vermont Mid-century art pottery collection today.
