Description

This pottery vase, glazed in aubergine (dark purple) on the outside and cream on the inside, was made by W.B. Stephen of Pisgah Forest Pottery in 1934. Walter Benjamin Stephen (1875-1961) also known as W.B. Stephen, founded Pisgah Forest Pottery around 1926 in Arden, North Carolina. It continued his Nonconnah Pottery of Tennessee, which he worked with his mother. Stephen moved to the Asheville area in 1913. This vase is similar to the simple shapes of Oscar Bachelder, whose work Stephen knew and admired.
