This is one of my favorite walls. The book cases are capped by two works by Charles Roy Smith who was a local artist.

The last time I took a picture of this wall, that was pretty much the extent of it...books. Then the Cameron bug bit again.
Cameron Clay Works was located in Cameron, West Virginia. It was destroyed by fire in 1964.
I have found three basic color combinations: all gold (with a white interior); gold and black; gold and seafoam. You can of course, see other colors (like the swan). The gold pieces are marked, the other colors are not and while I "believe" them to be Cameron, I cannot say with complete certainty. I have also run across a pink/black combo that I believe is from Cameron.
I sold 60 pieces in an attempt to stick to Savoy. I am now back up to 53!
Thanks, Kevin.
I have seen many of these pieces, panthers, phones, horses,vases. Some were not gold, but they were the same pieces
I guess you could say this was the "golden age" of pottery?
Sort of...LOL...gold was $32 an ounce, back in the day !
