Muncie Pottery started production of art pottery in 1919 as the Muncie Clay Products Company. Muncie Pottery started as a subsidiary of the German-American Clay Company. Muncie Pottery like so many of the other American art pottery companies closed its doors as a victim of the depression in 1939.
The blue drip over green is a beautiful glaze. The glaze design is outstanding on this bowl. This bowl is the perfect center piece to get everyone talking. The retro colors are beautiful and eye catching. The perfect conversation piece.
Exceptional bowl in that it has no cracks, no scratches to glaze. There is a very , very minor chip of less than 1/8 on the rim that can easily be repaired. Probably could use another good cleaning to bring out the colors even more. Any non-perfections are from good the firing/manufacturing process. This item was inspected with a Mil-spec UVA (365NM) and UVC (254NM) high intensity ultra-violet light and no evidence of repair or modification was detected. Unmarked but guaranteed authentic Muncie pottery. The white spots are studio light reflections. ID1390
