Art Deco green swirl catalin flared vase This 7 1/2 inch tall flared vase is made of what is probably catalin as the colors in the vase swirl like those on a catalin radio. The top of this very lightweight vase features a very characteristic Art Deco motif, that of the three speed lines, three horizontal bands which circle the vase. The lines of this vase remind me of the similar sized and shape vases by Chase Chrome of Waterbury, Conn. and the Revere Company of Rome, NY. I would place its manufacture in Art Deco period of 1925-1940 when all sorts of consumer goods and household articles were designed by industrial designers for the popular trade. The bottom is marked Bird Gro-Rite, E. Walpole, MASS and has what is most likely a shape number, NO. 210. I tried to research this company and came up with no information.

The colors are a rich green, gray and some black. A very stylish piece in excellent condition. Add it to your Art Deco collection. It would also look stunning on an Art Deco or even Midcentury modern Scandanavian furniture piece.

Scatchard early studio large hanging planter This Georges Scatchard early 5 inch tall x 7 3/4" wide hanging planter is a good example of the work that Scatchard was doing in the 1970s and early 1980s before he decided to concentrate primarily on lamps. The rim has three holes for hanging. Ah, remember macramé!! There are another three drainage holes in the bottom of the planter which would carry excess water to the attached underplate. The inside rings clearly on this hand thrown piece as well as the body of the stoneware itself and where the drip glaze was place. You can see all the ridges of the hand thrown object. The outside of the goblet is done in tans and beiges and one can see both inclusions and the horizontal rings from the throwing. The overglaze on this piece is done in shades of blues and greens and has an abstract design. The plnater is signed on the unglazed bottom G. SCATCHARD. A beautiful early piece.

Currently located in Underhill, Vermont, Georges Scatchard started from a converted horsebarn with his brother Ted in 1960. An article about the two Scatchard brothers and their ceramics was published in the 1967 Spring issue of Vermont Life on pages 38-42. According to the article, he was the only New Englander to receive a merit award for three items (all pottery) entered in the 1965-1966 New England Craft Council's exhibition for new and emerging craftsmen.

His current website, gslamps.com, shows his current production and gives a brief history of his work.  

Ballard #70 early green footed vase 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 #70 footed vase stands 6 inches tall. I What is unusual is that the is signed on the bottom of the foot with a sgrafitto incised signature through the turquoise blue glaze which must have been placed there for a contrast. The signature is an early studio one, with the double looped slanting capital S. Excellent condition.  

Vintage Sydenstricker blue Embassy bowl This piece was made in Brewster MA on Cape Cod in the 1960s. The Sydenstricker Glass Company is still in business though founder and visionary Bill Sydenstricker has passed away in 1994 but the company he founded continues his work. Here is what they company says about their glass: In the mid 1960's on Cape Cod, Bill Sydenstricker developed a new craft inspired by the extensive research he had conducted while at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on early Egyptian art.

This piece of vintage Sydenstricker glass is 6 3/4 inches wide and has a fluted rim. It stand one inch tall. It is signed Syd on the reverse and is in excellent condition. I believe this pattern is part of the Embassy line.
