THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL, SIGNED ANTIQUE ART POTTERY PITCHER MADE AND SIGNED BY "HAMPSHIRE POTTERY J.S. TAFT CO." AROUND 1918. THIS RARE PIECE HAS A RAISED FLORAL PATTERN AND INCISED BEADED HANDLE. THE CRAZING, TEXTURE, AND BEAUTIFULLY FIRED COLORING ON THIS PIECE IS TRULY AMAZING. THE PIECE IS CLEARLY STAMPED ON THE BASE WITH THE CIRCA 1905 TO 1923 HAMPSHIRE POTTERY MARK AND IS 100% GUARANTEED TO BE AN ORIGINAL EARLY 20TH CENTURY ORIGINAL. THIS LOVELY HAMPSHIRE PITCHER / VASE / STEIN, STANDS 9" TALL AND IS FRESH FROM A PRIZED ILLINOIS ART POTTERY COLLECTION. THE HAMPSHIRE POTTERY WAS FORMED IN KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE IN 1871 AND WAS A LEADING PRODUCER OF THE FINEST ARTS AND CRAFTS ERA POTTERY UNTIL IT CLOSED ITS DOORS IN LATE 1923.

THIS EARLY VASE SHOWS THE NORMAL CRAZING FOR A 100 YEAR OLD PIECE OF ART POTTERY AND HAS NO CHIPS OR DAMAGE OTHER THAN NORMAL AGE CRAZING, WHICH ACTUALLY MAKES THESE EARLY PIECES WHAT THEY ARE.
