Pisgah Forest Pottery

Pottery

This porcelain vase has a white glaze on the outside to which mineral crystals have been added; the inside is mauve. The vase was made by W. B. Stephen of Pisgah Forest Pottery in 1940. The underside is marked with the Pisgah Forest trademark: a potter working at the wheel. 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. Stephen experimented with crystaline glaze effects for many years.
