My main area of collecting knowledge is glass, so I am hoping for the expertise of some pottery lovers out there for this one! :)
I love arts and crafts pottery, but only own a few pieces. I recently came across this piece, and not knowing who made it, I loved it and bought it anyway. It is 9-1/2" tall, and very heavy. After doing quiet a bit of research, I found the same shape attributed to Haeger (a well known Illinois pottery) but was only able to find two other examples of this shape. I found a green matte version shown on a table at a 1998 Haeger pottery exhibit in Wisconsin, and a glossy yellow version from a 2000 exhibition on the same website. (image 3 is from http://wisconsinpottery.org/Show/Illinois/index.htm)
So I have a few questions - does anyone know the name of this pretty matte blue glaze, or the shape number of this vase? Also, the two examples of this shape I found were listed as "early Haeger". Does anyone know what these date to, and if mine is also an early version?
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
I was never really into Royal Haeger or it was never my thing . Because it is way too common here in Wisconsin. But these are very beautiful!!!! they look more like Rookwood a little bit. which is why these are so attractive looking and beautiful!!
Thanks so much, Sean! These are apparently very early pieces, so I am thinking around 1914-1920? This piece reminded me a lot of Teco in its shape, too.
Also, J. Martin Stangl left Fulper to join Haeger in 1914, and had a big influence on their pieces in both form and glazes before he left in 1919 - so a lot of the early Haeger glazes are very similar to Fulper, too.
(By the way, the dark green piece in the last image is Teco.)
they are some what similar to fluper as well . my guess would be around 1914-1920. heres my fluper that ive found over a year ago!!

Ooooh - love your blue Fulper, Sean - the handles are terrific! I know what you mean about Teco - so lovely, but I agree - soooo expensive!
