Circa: 1952-1960
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 while these influential teachers were there: 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 Ballard5 1/2 inch yellow glaze bottleneck vase was made in two sizes, this being the smaller one. This vase may have been a second as it has a place on the side of the vase where it must have touched another piece in the kiln.
There is no mark on the bottom of this piece. It could have been made under contract for someone else who would have placed their paperl label on the piece. I believe this to be a later piece given that there is no chocolate brown bottom band. Would look great even with an Arts & Craft piece.
There is some outer rim roughness and one very small pinprick flake. For that reason, it is priced extremely reasonably. Add it to your Ballard collection and use it without fear!
Go green! Save resources and purchase a piece of America's past. Sturdy, dependable, dishwasher-friendly, it is ready for your home today. |
