Manufacturer: Stanley Ballard, 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 squat bulbous mustard white vase with heavy mottling is one of Ballard's earliest examples I have found to date. I have another example of this shape which has the date 1945 on it. This vase has the recessed base and the S. Ballard in relief signature without the word Vermont which would come later. It is most likely from either 1945 or 1946. It also has a #10 in red pencil on it as well as three initials.
It stands 6 1/2 inches tall. The opening at the top is 3 1/2 inches. The glaze is the very early mustard white over the chocolate brown with very heavy mottling on the outside of the piece. The inside of the vase is glazed with the white glaze also. It is a great example of Ballard's early work. It is in excellent condition. |
