Black
Hills Clay
Hand-Painted Pine Cone Design
South Dakota
Colorful
vintage Black Hills Clay pot or planter with a hand-painted pinecone
design. This
small piece was probably a souvenir from South Dakota. It measures
about 4.45 inches wide at the rim, 3 inches wide across the foot,
and 2.75 inches high at the sides. The pot is glazed in a very colorful
light brownish-orange, with a border of brown around the top and
bottom.
The
piece has heavy overall crazing (including a couple of heavy craze
lines that look like cracks but aren't, as visible in the photos at
right), and a lot of dirt and mineral residue on the interior and rim
(from use). There are no structural flaws or damage that I can find.
The
bottom is signed "Hand Painted / Evelyn Van / Made of Black Hills
Clay." Price: $9.00.
