For your consideration, a pottery bowl made from start to finish by Arthur Eugene Baggs, Circa 1931, a major player in the Arts & Crafts pottery world, and more widely known as the owner/operator of Marblehead Pottery in MA from approximately 1910 until its closing in 1936. He started at Marblehead as only a teen, took over from Dr. Herbert Hall, and it became much of his life’s work. This bowl is dated 1931, and would have been made while Baggs was working at Ohio State University as the ceramics director during the school year, and Marblehead Pottery during the summers part-time. The glaze is especially superb, with a gloppy yellow color highlighted by turquoise (notice the turquoise bands around the rim) and my favorite part, the dark gray pepper like random spots on the piece. I’m not sure what look he was going for, but it’s a GREAT piece of pottery!!! Beautiful and intriguing to hold. No scratches, chips, cracks, or repairs of any type. There is crazing visible, commensurate with its age and glossy glaze. The bowl measures exactly five inches in diameter and is signed “AEB 1931″ in Baggs’ customary circle not unlike Marblehead. Fantastic piece to come to market by a pottery artist who studied under Charles Binns. Courtesy of Style 1900 magazine. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED! Thank you for your interest!
