Throughout the history of the Fulper Pottery company, the firm has been known to produce amazing work of art utilizing innovative glazes developed by their staff. Many of the shapes were simple but the glazes applied enhanced their desirability tremendously. The company used assorted marks which can identify the approximate age of each example. The rectangular mark visible on the bottom of the pitcher places the production of this fine example between the years 1909 and 1917. A few years back I owned a fulper bud vase in this color combination which also carried a paper label from the Panama-Pacific Exposition held in San Francisco in 1915 at which Fulper won awards for their art pottery. I suspect this blend of earth tone glazes was developed in 1914 or early 1915 possibly for this exposition thus narrowing the year of production for the ewer.
Nonetheless, this strikingly large jug commands of presence in an arts and crafts or mission style decor. It stands 10 1/4” tall and measures approximately 5 3/4” diameter across the broadest region of the body. In excellent used condition with no chips, cracks, damage or repairs noted. The inside appears clean with no residue from use. A great chance to add a fantastic arts and crafts style art pottery piece to your collection. Please view all pictures as they are considered part of the description.
Please check back to my listings often as I will be posting numerous fine examples of glass, pottery and porcelain in the near future.
Thank you.
