Description

This signed photograph of potter Oscar Louis Bachelder (1852-1935) was taken by Doris Ulmann around 1933 or 1934. The photograph shows Bachelder at his potter's wheel with an unglazed jar. He operated the Omar Khayyam Pottery in Candler, North Carolina from about 1914 until his death in 1935. He was one of the first Appalachian potters to move from utilitarian work to art pottery.
