To the ceramics collector Studio Pottery & potters marks can be a total mystery. So how do you tell one potters mark from another and good pots from bad
Harry Ashburner Pottery mark on mugs.
A studio pottery vase by American artist Barry Unitas Barnes. The vase is characterized by an elongated organic shape with a warm brown glaze and indented patterns and shapes pressed into the exterior. The artist's chop mark is located near the neck of the vase. Barry Unitas Barnes received his BFA in Ceramics from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1990 and his MFA in Ceramics from Arizona State University in 1994. Today, he is an Assistant Professor of Art at Franklin College, and teaches Ceramics, 3D Foundations, and Art History. Previously, he has taught art at the University of Indianapolis, Arizona State University, the Indianapolis Art Center, and his own private studio in Beech Grove, Indiana. less
Every hobby, industry, and interest has its own nomenclature, and the antique business is no exception. Let’s start with the word antique. Unless a dealer is solely concentrating on the purchase and sale of items that are one hundred years of age or older, theoretically they’re not an ‘antique dealer.’ The term is used loosely because a dealer will handle some items that are old enough to be genuine antiques, but not all of their merchandise will qualify as an authentic antique. Where the semantics get muddled is in the descriptions of the rest of the merchandise, so to clarify them… An antique is any work of art, decorative object, item of jewelry, mechanical device (i.e. clock), or piece of furniture, created or produced one hundred years prior to the current year. An exquisite example would be American brilliant cut glass. The Brilliant Period lasted from approximately 1876 to 1914. Golden oak furniture manufactured in the early 1900's and sold widely through the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog business, would be another, but not Art Deco furniture which wasn’t produced until 1925 when the the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts) was held in Paris that year. Within the next decade, it too will achieve ‘antique’ status. This is significant because the value of items doesn’t just increase incrementally when it reaches 100 years of age, it often increases exponentially, contingent on the demand and the economy. As successive generations grow up without being introduced or appreciating the works of craftsman long since gone, the lower the demand will be. Items less than 100 years old are referred to as vintage, but should be used in context with the item, as in ‘1960’s vintage clothing.’ Most dealers are in agreement that vintage should only apply to items that are at least twenty years old. Some say the item should also have some redeeming value and interest to collectors. Twenty-year old paper bags do not. Which brings us to the term collectible. A collectible doesn’t need to be 20+ years. It just has to be an item valued and sought by collectors. Many numbered figurines, sports memorabilia, and limited-edition toys are highly collectible, but not vintage or antique. A word of caution. Limited edition items can be released in volumes high enough to saturate the market thus devaluing them. Case in point, the bane of collectibles, those adorable Beanie Babies. Here’s where the water gets really murky...Retro versus Repro. The difference between these two is based primarily on intention. Retro is imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past. It’s the dealer’s intention to provide a quality item that represents a previous era to customers seeking that item. Mid-century furniture is often referred to as Retro, but in fact, it’s vintage. Furniture made to look like it’s from the 1950's would be correctly identified as Retro. Repro, for reproduction, is made to represent an older item, but is marked or even distressed, to give the illusion that it’s from a previous era. The intention of the seller is to deceive in order to obtain a higher price for the item. Collectors are advised to do their research. Learn the difference between the old and the reproductions. Many reference books on collectibles have a section on reproductions that have been produced. It’s often been said that the first thing you should add to your collection is a good book about the item you’re interested in collecting. As stewards of antiques and collectibles, a certain amount of responsibility goes along with seeing that they’re cherished for years to come, not disposed of with little regard as to their value. At some point the torch has to be passed to the next generation, to quote John F. Kennedy. In addition to passing down antiques and family heirlooms, share your knowledge and the nomenclature, to educate the recipients and cultivate their interest in antiques. #Antiques #Vintage #Collectibles #Retro #Repro

A studio pottery bowl by the American artist Scott Frankenberger (born 1949). This bowl exhibits a multicolored gloss glaze with stamped designs on the front of the bowl.

A lovely pair of studio pottery goblets or chalices. This matching pair of goblets are finished in a stunning brown glaze. The goblets are in excellent condition. They are made in a chalice style. They have a mottled glaze in the interior of the cup, a brown glaze on the exterior and the stand has a striped glaze. The potter’s mark can be just seen near the base of the cup and it is a capital P inside a square. They are beautifully balanced and have a nice soft rim suitable for drinking from. The goblets measure 12 cm h x 8.5 cm in diameter These goblets would be equally lovely in use or on display. Fabulous styling piece and would also make a great anniversary gift. I think it’s Pottery for the 9th wedding anniversary in the UK.
