Circa: 1950-1960
Manufacturer: Stanley Ballard, Burlington Vermont
Vermont Studio potter Stanley Ballard (1917-1960) graduated from Alfred University’s highly respected Ceramic Program in 1939, having studied there under these influential teachers: Marion Fosdick, Charles Harder, Clarence Merritt, and C. Katherine Nelson.
From 1937-1939 he was a classmate of Glidden Parker. He had his studio in Burlington Vermont from 1946 -1960 until his untimely tragic death in February 1960.
Produced by Vermont Mid-Century studio potter Stanley Ballard who worked in the Burlington area , this Ballard syrup jug is done in his signature chocolate brown glaze which he uses as an underglaze on other pieces. The scene depicts a maple tree with a sap bucket on it with mountains in the background. So, here is an iconic scene by a talented Vermont potter.
Not signed on the bottom, but one can see the exact same item shown as a Ballard product in the Summer 1953 Vermont Life 6 page article on Stanley Ballard.
The top opening measures 7/8 inch. I believe this was the second mold on this design as the earlier one is exactly 1 inch at the top and stands a little taller. The sap bucket on the earlier mold is also a little wider.
This was sold with a cork, which is not present. Excellent condition.
Add it to your Ballard, American Art pottery or New Hampshire memorabilia collection today. |
