Hampshire Pottery #164 – Bulbous Cucumber Matte Green Bud Vase Arts & Crafts, c 1904-1913
This Art Pottery Vase is made by The Hampshire Pottery Company of Keene, NH. The item is called a "Bulbous Bud Vase" and it is done in Hampshire Pottery's most famous Matte Cucumber Green Glaze. The Vase is a nice cabinet size as it stands 4 1/4" tall and is 3 1/2" in diameter at the bottom bulge. The piece is 2 3/8" in diameter at the foot.
The Vase displays a very nice mottled cu...cumber matte green glaze. It has nice even color throughout. The Style of the vase is very much Arts and Crafts and kind of resembles an hour glass shape. The Vase displays a bulbous bottom with a narrow neck rising up and a top lip that flares out slightly. A beautiful Bud Vase!
The Vase is considered to be in very good condition as there are no cracks, nicks, or dings. There is a small chip on the bottom ring only and cannot be seen when the vase is standing. (see picture). The piece is signed on the bottom with impressed marks that read, "Hampshire Pottery" and the shape number "164" along with the "M" in a circle. This mark helps us determine when this vase was made. The "M" in a Circle Mark was used during Cadmon Robertson's tenure with Hampshire Pottery. He was their Chemist and help to develop over 900 different glazes. This mark was used to honor his Wife "Emoretta". She was the sister of the founder, James Scollay Taft.
Hampshire started producing Matte Glazes in 1891. This was 7 years earlier than their main Competitor Grueby Faience of Boston, Mass. Hampshire Pottery resembles the style of Grueby but were much more affordable as they were mold made pieces as opposed to hand thrown. This the nickname "Poor Man’s Grueby" was given to this line by the Grueby Pottery collectors. Hampshire Pottery closed after Cadmon Robertson's death and reopened again in 1916. They produced Art Pottery until 1917 and then they focused on Dinnerware for Hotels and Restaurants along with Souvenirs until 1923 when Hampshire Pottery Closed permanently.
