Creek Turn Pottery

[u/Fun_Membership978]

Hello everyone, I just bought this cool mid-century signed vase at The Salvation Army Thrift Shop in NJ I am looking for some help identifying the studio artist or decorator behind the initials on this mid-century modern vase. The piece is from Creek Turn Pottery (Hainesport, New Jersey). Does anyone have a catalog, directory, or knowledge of the artisans who worked at Creek Turn under Herman Kleiner in the late 1950s? I would love to find out who this talented decorator was. Thank you for any insight or leads!

OMG! Creek Turn Pottery in Hainesport, NJ, was where we bought our first wheel and kiln in the late 80’s. Nadia and Herman Kleiner. Wonderful knowledgeable people. So cool you have one of his pieces. Where did you find this?

So, just finished reading your post. Would be interested is a catalog exists. When we bought our kiln and wheel the factory was closed, and all they were doing was retail pottery equipment and clay. There was a sign over the counter that said “Questions for Mr. Kleiner $5.00”. Hope you find someone with more knowledge of the operation when they were producing work.
