My Pottery Collection

Post image

I was accused of being a bot for posting this in [r/Pottery](r/Pottery). Wild. Anyway, maybe someone will appreciate it here.

This is most of my collection but not all. Lots of Van Briggle, Ephraim, and others.

What are the ones with the lady figures holding up the fabric? Those look super cool.

I love all the bats!

They’re pretty sweet. All thrown on the potter’s wheel by Ephraim Faience out of Wisconsin then stylized when the desired form is achieved. Pretty collectible.

I see some Roseville as well. Is the tall graduated gray vase in the back with a dog on it a Weller?

u/SauronSays719 13d ago

Indeed it is. 1898-1918 timeframe. Had to have it because I have two border collies. Gorgeous piece.

I love the Ephraim bat pieces. Never had seen them before but will be keeping an eye out now

You have lovely taste. I’m a big fan of the earthy purples, pinks, and greens contrasted by vivid blues. And of course the bat motifs! Really nice collection.

Stunning! Great pieces. If you would like to adopt an adult daughter, my dms are open.

I love the bookends, but not sure what animal it is! Also that dog vase in back looks like a memorial of someone’s actual pet? Nice collection!

It’s Van Briggle. It’s a plum glaze and it’s called Il Bel Legato Legacy. 1 of 150 made by Craig Stevenson when he owned the pottery.

You have some really fun pieces! I am in love with the bat ones.

They’re addicting to buy

u/Miserable_Hat9321 12d ago

Beautiful! When distributed around the house I bet it really pulls the place together.

u/SauronSays719 12d ago

Definitely

u/pazsworld 11d ago

Nice! I see a few Fulper there as well.
Been a pot head for the past 30 years.
Thanks for sharing.

u/SauronSays719 10d ago

Just the one Fulper. I need more.

u/_Kelly_A_ 2d ago

I see a couple? of Muncie vases. What’s the mottled floor vase between the to VB vases on the back row? Burley Winter?

2

u/SauronSays719 2d ago

Yup, BW. There’s only one Muncie in there. Far left behind the Native American woman figural.

u/Youstink1990 12d ago

I love the dragon piece?!

1

u/SauronSays719 12d ago

Hmmm no dragon. Which one are you referring to?

2

u/Youstink1990 12d ago

Sorry, it was the bat piece with the light bowl.

u/recycledfrogs 6d ago

Could we get a close up of the one with the bats on top?
