Description
This porcelain ash tray has a white glaze on the outside to which blue-green mineral crystals have been added. It was made by W.B. Stephen of Pisgah Forest Pottery in 1948. 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 crystalline glaze effects for many years. This piece was donated to Southern Highland Craft Guild by Eunice Taylor.
