Pisgah Forest Pottery

Pottery

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. The vase is stamped on the bottom with a cameo of a potter and "PISGAH FOREST 19_4 W. B. STEPHEN." 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.

Stephen, Walter Benjamin, 1875-1961
