Pottery Lamp Base Grueby Teco Weller Wheatley Tiffany


Pottery Lamp Base Grueby Teco Weller Wheatley Tiffany


Authentic hand thrown arts & crafts pottery lamp base. Grueby, teco, weller, wheatley fulper, hampshire. Would gracefully accommodate a tiffany, handel, bigelow & kennard, duffner & kimberly or other quality leaded lamp shade or arts & crafts, mission, art nouveau or art deco period shade. I believe this is a hand thrown piece, as indicted within the interior and not molded.

I do believe ti is 100% hand thrown. The uneven deep to lighter rich textured green glaze adds an organic element to this piece the four buttressed feet appearing as if stylized tree trunks giving it more form and stability.

The overall condition is very good excellent. The body has no damage, cracks, repairs or other issues. There are single chips on 3 foot corners and of which some past owner decided to dab with dark pigment in an attempt to lessen their white clay color and. The chips do not distract from the beauty of the piece and could be properly repaired & colored if desired.

There is a local restorer who siad it was a very easy and low cost repair to perform. The photos make the chips appera much more significant then they are. The base is not signed, there aren't even. Definiteyl looks like a grueby pot- very organic in form, glaze and the four buttressed feet. nOe of the things that grueby and some of their competitors did, was to copy shapes and glazes from.
About the same period of time. And tihs piece probably dates from 1900 to. But grueby was not the only one to borrow shapes from other. The fact of the matter is, this is possibly grueby, teco, weller, possibly a hand thrown wheatley or a cincinnati piece of art pottery. Whatever it is does matter but beisdes the maker, it is in its own right a very beautiful arts & crafts period american pottery lamp base. If you nede additional photos simply ask.
