PotShot! Today's vintage pottery is a tea set by Zanesville Stoneware Company. I feel this set is unique, as I haven't seen another quite like it. The most distinctive feature about it is the square spout on the teapot! There may have been a lid on the sugar, or perhaps it's now on the teapot?
Marvelous vintage pottery tea set by Zanesville Stoneware Company of Ohio, in a lovely periwinkly purplish blue. The bodies of these pieces all start with a rather high bowl form on the bottom, which then flares inward and upward to rims a bit wider than the bottoms. Lids are inset. Handles are angular, thickish, and tilted slightly upward. Simple tab handle on teapot lid. Closeup of spout on the teapot - it's SQUARE!! Very, very square, four side, the opening is square! This pic also shows that there is a raised square shape on the round lid as well.

More balance to tip the scales toward the happiez... pot! Pottery, that is, don't get all excited. I can't afford that kind. This is Edwin Knowles, Yorktown shape. Look at those colors!! And all those different sizes of plates! More in captions.
A giant basket of Knowles Yorktown dinnerware. Edwin Knowles was one of the "Big Five" in Ohio River pottery manufacture back in the day. Yorktown shape came in four main colors... a lovely periwinkly medium blue, a rosy dark pink, a rusty orange brown, and a delightful bright yellow. I found them at the thrift, and while the price tag says $39.99, I got them for half that when yellow became the 50% off color a month or so later! No one else wanted them. MIIIINE!! Edwin Knowles Yorktown plates in SEVEN different sizes! Yeesh. Yorktown flatware (bowls and plates) is characterized by a band of rings on the rim, and a lovely, wing-like half lug "handles" on the edges. A favorite of mine! Edwin Knowles Yorktown teapot in burgundy rose, creamer in periwinkle blue, and lidded sugar bowl in yellow. They have marvelous winglike handles and finials, reminiscent of a sundial. Fraunfelter, another Ohio River pottery, made a similar teapot but it's not quite as squatty and FAR heavier! Forties charm at its finest.

The overall flatness of the white balancing gives it all a pixie bluish glaze in all of the light values of the tooth, like reducing the whitepoint and then just flattening but bringing the blue curve up a tad. So it’s just flat periwinkly and then ULTRAMARINE edges to sudden white pinpoints!

It's a lovely, periwinkly, almost purplish blue!! And there's nothing like these shapes. Beyond asymmetrical. He did some very nifty teapots, too. They are marked only with a large, hand-inscribed "N". Some day I will find an incredible one I can afford.
