    These are vases I picked up at the Thrift Store. I believe they are J B Cole Pottery. Seagrove North Carolina

    Seagrove's pottery tradition dates back to the 18th century before the American Revolution. Many of the first Seagrove potters were English and German immigrants. They primarily produced functional, glazed earthenware. Due to the high quality of the local clay and transportation access for traders, Seagrove became known for its pottery.
    The popularity of Seagrove pottery fell off during the Industrial Revolution and the advent of modern food preparation. For a time whisky jugs were a successful source of income, but the beverage was outlawed. The potteries continued their decline in the early 20th century.
    Around 1920, a new market developed as the pottery became popular with Northern tourists visiting nearby Pinehurst. The new tourist industry marked a general change from utilitarian pottery to more decorative ware. After another decline from the 1950s through 1970s, a renewed interest in traditional pottery developed. In 1982 a group of concerned individuals founded the North Carolina Museum of Traditional Pottery and organized the Seagrove Pottery Festival, an annual event held each year the weekend before Thanksgiving.
    The Cole, Auman, Owen, Teague, and Albright families are eighth- and ninth-generation potters in Seagrove who continue this tradition.
    Some of the oldest, historic pottery locations still in operation include the "Original" Owens Pottery founded in 1895[5] and Jugtown Pottery founded in 1921.[6] The Jugtown Pottery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
