Frankoma "Plainsman" Mug #C1
Prairie
Green Rutile Glaze
This
nicely shaped coffee mug is from Frankoma and has a richly detailed
Prairie Green glaze. I believe the shape is "Plainsman" and
the clay is the later orangey-brown Sapulpa variety. This
nice piece measures 4 inches high, and 3 inches wide at the rim. It
has one flaw, a glaze flake or shallow chip at the bottom edge of the
handle, which has created a stress line in the glaze on that side of
the handle. There are no other chips, flakes, or crazing. (I would
use this mug without hesitation.) The
mug is clearly marked with an embossed "C1 Frankoma" logo.
Price: $4.00.
Frankoma 2
Coffee Mugs, C12
Buckskin
Glaze?
Two richly glazed coffee mugs from Frankoma Pottery. I believe this glaze
is either "Buckskin" or a light "Desert Gold-Rutile"
(beige with golden brown) and the clay is the (redder) Sapulpa. The
cups measure 4-1/8 inches high at the rim and about 3-1/8 inches wide
at the rim. Both cups have very shallow glaze flakes (shallow chips) on
the bottom foot ring. There are no other cracks, hairlines, or crazing. Both
cups are marked with raised "FP" marks on the foot, along with
the number C12. Price: $7.50.
Frankoma
Rectangular Pillow Vase
Prairie Green Rutile Glaze, Ada
Clay
This
nicely shaped pillow vase from Frankoma has a wonderful Prairie Green
glaze. I believe the clay is the earlier brown Ada variety, rather
than the later red Sapulpa. It has an incised mark "63 / Frankoma."
A
heavy piece, this vase measures 7.5 inches high, 4.75 inches wide,
and 3 inches deep. There is one serious flaw, a large 2-inch crack
crossing one corner (as visible in the photo, at bottom).

Mayan-Aztec Coffee Mug,
Brown
Satin-Rutile Glaze,
Sapulpa Red Clay
A
Frankoma sculptured coffee mug, in a rich glaze I believe is Brown
Satin-Rutile (two shades of brown, a bit darker and not as orange as
my camera flash makes it look). It has a wonderful shape and coloration.
This
mug measures 3.75 inches high at the sides and 3 inches wide at the
rim. The condition is very good, with almost no signs of use or utensil
ware, and no chips or cracks or fleabites.
On
the red clay base, the mug has a raised (embossed) mark for "C-4
Frankoma." Overall, this piece has great detail and design, in
a great glaze. Price:
$5.00. |
