Offering a North Carolina Transitional Period pottery 4 1/2" tall vase. The glaze is very shiny, typical of a lead glaze. There is one tiny nick on the rim and an area of glaze miss on the rim. Please see photographs as they are part of the description. "In the last half of the nineteenth century there had been adequate demand for food storage vessels and jugs to contain certain liquid such as whiskey, medicines and elixirs, and molasses for potters to earn a livelihood. Potters were able to make enough cash from this labor-intensive enterprise to feed and clothe their families. However, early in the 20th century, progress in the form of glass containers, refrigeration, and the decline in legal manufacture of spirits changed the consideration of demand. A few more informed members of the Seagrove area pottery community and several important outsiders believed that the public wanted decorative pottery, the so-called fancy wares. JD Craven's son, Daniel Z. Craven, was a leader in the Seagrove art pottery movement. A clear lead glaze over this clay produced a buff color from the Auman Pottery and a light orange hue from the Craven Pottery. This difference in color might be accounted for by a variation in the clay mixture; substituting some darker mixture like Smithfield clay, differences in the kiln temperature or variation of the glaze formula."
