Found this the other day, so I thought I would try to get some opinions. The piece is signed: Pewabic Detroit. More about the pottery here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewabic_Pottery
Does anyone have any experience with pieces from this pottery? If so, I am looking to try to find when the piece was made. I understand this mark was used from 1910-1991. It is a handsome piece of pottery but the chip kills it. If it is worthwhile I would consider having some restoration work done on the chip. I paid next to nothing so it may be worth it. Thanks for looking.
It's a very nice piece. I know the chip is there but like you said, you need a more specific time frame. I wish I could help with that. The thing is that if there are only a few around, one with a little ding like that could still be worth it and more...It's almost a horrible name though I have to say! haha When I first saw it I thought for sure it was Scheurich or maybe even Jasba. How large is it?
Nice piece.
Pewabic is notoriously difficult to date accurately. This mark was used in the 1950s but I don't know if it has been revived in any of the post-1971 work. Pewabic vases are always good and this is probably worthy of professional restoration.
