Description

Rare J.B. Owens Meadow Line Vase, 10” Tall, Mint Condition, Artist Signed
This is a piece of J.B. Owens Pottery in their rarely seem “Meadow” Line.
The vase is signed“Owens” along with its mold number “1124”.
This pottery line is a transitional style between the whitish top colored “Alpine” Line and the extremely rare very dark colored “Renaissance”Line.
The “Meadow” Line has a matt light colored top, a medium brown mid-section and a deep brown bottom.
The “Meadow” Line is also characterized by its multi-color and higher quality art work.
The “Meadow” Line is not to be confused with the common “Matt Utopian”Line which has a uniform light tan body and bland artwork.
The “Matt Utopian” Line may or may not have its artwork next to a bluish-greenish colored section on the mid-section of the pottery’s body.
Limited information on the J.B. Owens “Meadow” Line can be found at jbowenspottery.com.
I can provide additional photos of other pieces of this line upon request.
The artist monogram is “HE” for Hattie Eberlein.
The monogram is located on the bottom rim and it took me a very strong light, time and magnification to decipher the small initials.
This piece is in mint condition and has been in a smoke free environment.
No repairs cracks or other defects were observed.
I’ve been collecting and researching the J.B. Owens Company for over 30 years.
I’m letting several of the pieces that I have copies go to free-up much needed space in my collection storage area.
T
his piece of pottery is priced to sell.
Based on my research, this vase was made in or shortly after 1905.
This was the final period of production at the J.B. Owens Pottery Company when they produced their best artistic designs and art pottery forms.
The company ceased all production by late 1908 to early 1909.
The pottery and all its assets were sold at a sheriff sale on May 29, 1909.
After that the former Owens building was used by the Brush Pottery and recently the Hartstone Ohio Stoneware operation.
