Description

This pottery vase was made by Walter Benjamin Stephen (1875-1961) in the late 1930s or early 1940s and features the crystalline glaze that he developed. Stephen spent many years of trial and error to perfect this technique on his own. This piece has blue crystals on a pale green background. The inside has a pink glaze. Stephen opened the Pisgah Forest Pottery in Arden, North Carolina around 1926 and the pottery still operates today.
