GEORGE OHR Vessel of white clay with closed-in rim, in sponged cobalt and brown pattern. Script signature. 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"
Condition
"We were attracted to this because it is so obviously white, which was the ultimate challenge to potters. It's white on the outside and inside, with a very nice kind of blue sponge decoration. Was this Ohr's answer to the blue-sponged kitchen ware being produced in Ohio and Illinois in the 1880s and 90s? The Newark Museum has an example of Ohr's spongeware in its collection."
