Niloak Pottery Mission ware 4.25 dia blue gray swirl vase arts & crafts southern

  

Here is a very nice Niloak Pottery "mission ware" swirl vase with a squat form. It has blue, brick red, gray brown, and white clay colors with excellent contrast. The interior is glazed with clear gloss.

Marked with the firm's die-stamped art mark partially visible under original the paper label. It measures 3 3/4 inches in tall and 4 1/4 inches in diameter. It is in great condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, or firing flaws. In 1909 or 1910, in Benton Arkansas, Charles Hyten developed this swirled hand thrown artware in which the clay colors were mixed and carefully planned in relationship to each other.

Some of the other swirl potteries are Ouachita, Ozark, and Evans. A good piece of southern swirl pottery.
