Exceptional Four-Handled Stoneware Vase with Chinese Blue Glaze, Stamped "JUGTOWN WARE," Jugtown, NC origin, circa 1930, large-sized, ovoid vase with tooled body and tapering neck with semi-rounded rim, the neck surrounded with four applied strap handles, the shoulder embellished with a curving incised band of clay resembling rope, the entire form modeled after early Middle Eastern ceramic jars. Surface covered in a colorful "Chinese Blue" glaze featuring streaks of turquoise with red accents. Albany-slip-type glaze to interior. Impressed on underside with Jugtown maker's mark. Combining outstanding form, size, and glaze, this vase set a record for an example of North Carolina art pottery when it sold in 2006 for $31,350 at a Southern Folk Pottery Collector's Society auction in Bennett, NC. A 3/8" drilled lamp wire hole at base. Otherwise excellent condition. H 17".
