  • Arkansas Pottery?

    I’m not sure how I acquired this piece ..I believe someone gave it to me.. it had a sticker on it labeled Arkansas..

    The design was applied after firing its a reconstruction not a restoration... any information anyone has about pottery of this type would e appreciated.

    Awesome Piece Hal. Wow incised on the inner rim. Flared lip, wavy rim. Exterior incising. Boy it has a lot going for it. You can actually see the smoothing wipe mark on the inside. Can I borrow it for a few years? K

      I could probably guess within 30~miles where it came from.

      I have a few pieces in that style.

      it appears to have been a used piece, and not just a funerary ornament. The inside looks to be a Bell Plain finish, and the outside looks to be some form of incised, but hard for me to see because of the pictures and my old eyes.

      the finish is a little unusual, in that a bell plain finish is more commonly found outside a vessel, usually on jars, water bottles, spittoons, etc.


      love the incision inside the rim, and the “warped” look is a cool variant. I’ve not seen one quite like it…but that step/shoulder is common enough.

      really nice example. Thanks for sharing.

        What a beautiful vessel. Agree that the 'warp' and decoration make it something special. How did you manage to forget where you got it?

          Pretty neat. You could probably contact Ken Partain for a verification. Ken has handled and ID'd thousands of Arkansas pottery pieces over the years. Or Sam at Caddo Trading.
