Redware Fancy Flowerpot Sgraffito Ruffle Artisan 20th C Vintage Folk Art Chester County Pennsylvania Style Studio Pottery AARFAC Mark
Charming redware pottery fancy flowerpot with ruffled edge rim, mustard yellow glaze, sgraffito decoration and dark daub embellishments. A piece of restrained elegance, meticulously crafted by 20th-century artisans, in the style of Chester County potter Enos Smedley (1805-1892). More elaborate examples of this type of redware, with several rows of ruffles, are in the Philadelphia Museum of Art collection.
A hard-to-find, hand-made pottery vessel, evidenced by the visible interior coils and attention to detail in every aspect of its creation. Perfect to display on its own or group with other American folk-art pieces such as samplers or other handmade textiles, old tinware, painted folk art trays or similar. Arrange them on a mantel, shelf, console or sideboard to showcase their handmade charm.
It is clearly signed on the underside with the impressed rooster mark of AARFAC, the seal of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Collection, which first opened to the public in 1957. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller (1874-1948) was an American philanthropist, collector and one of the founders of MoMA.
In very good condition with minor imperfections as shown. Shipped fully insured with tracking number.
Measurements: 8" tall by 9" outer top diameter approximately.
Weight: 5 lbs. 13.4 oz. unpacked.
