Stunning Vintage Brush-McCoy Pottery 2-Handled Empress Vase Art Vellum Rose #699

Description

Featured in this auction is a stunning vintage footed urn, pottery bowl or vase made by the Brush-McCoy Pottery Co.  This beautiful, early piece from the 1930's is unmarked but is referenced in the "Sanfords Guide to Brush-McCoy Pottery" by Martha and Steve Sanford as being from their "Empress" vase line, shape number 699.  The vase has a bulbous body, 2 applied handles and a collared rim in addition to the footed base.
The piece is finished in Brush-McCoy's "Art Vellum" glaze finish which consists of a matte underglaze (rose or pink for this example) and an overdrip of blue-gray to provide texture and highlight the base color.
There is a small, glazed-over indentation at the base rim (most likely from the grinding process) and evidence of the clay being handworked prior to firing including residual clay tags on the inside.  Other small production details to note include small glaze skips and drips along with some peppering in the glaze.  There is some light scuffing along with minor staining inside from prior use.  However, this early piece is otherwise in excellent condition with no chips, no cracks, no crazing and no repairs.  The piece is 6-1/2" wide at the handles, about 4-1/4" tall, and 4" wide at the mouth.  The piece does show some gentle wear but is relatively clean over all.  Check out all 10 photos!  This visually-stunning beauty would be perfect for any American art pottery or Brush-McCoy Pottery collector.  Check out my other pottery listings!
