Pisgah Forest Pottery

Pottery

This pair of matching candlestick holders in a turquoise glaze was made by W.B. Stephen of Pisgah Forest Pottery in 1942. Both are stamped on bottom with cameo of a potter, however the name and date part of the stamp is incomplete. Candlestick (a) is stamped on bottom "PISGAH FOREST 194_". Candlestick (b) is stamped on bottom "PISGAH F_". Stephen made a new marking plate every year from 1927-1954, so that the gradual development of Pisgah Forest Pottery can be charted over time. Walter Benjamin Stephen (1875-1961) also known as W.B. Stephen, founded Pisgah Forest Pottery around 1926 in Arden, North Carolina. Stephen's pottery was known for its unusual shapes and unique glazes, such as this turquoise glaze.
