Description

OWEN’S POTTERY UNEARTHED
by Kristy and Rick McKibben and Jeanette and Marvin Stofft, privately published, 1996.
Profusely illustrated in color, this rare out-of-print book is a definitive pictorial and price guide to J.B. Owens Art Pottery.  The authors mention that “In our opinion, Owens was one of the finest art potteries of its time.  The early glazes were comparable to the Rookwood Standard Glaze.  Some of the most talented artists made their way through Owens, preceding their tenure with Weller and Roseville.  Owens’s prolific introduction of new lines over a period of its short life was impressive.  Many techniques attributed to other, more tenured potteries, got their beginnings at Owens.”  This comprehensive book provides names including line names, dimensions, signatures when known and prices.
6” x 9” plastic spiral-bound softback in very good condition.  103 pages.
