Very
Pretty Pair:
1920s "Early Utility" Hull
Steins
Stoneware with Old Hull "H" Circle
Mark
A
wonderful embossed pair of "Rhein steins" from Hull's 1920s
early utilityware line, as shown on pages 38-9 of the Brenda Roberts' "Collector's
Encyclopedia of Hull Pottery." These
wonderfully detailed steins measure 6.25 inches in height, 3.5 inches
across the foot, and 2.75 inches across the rim. They both have a very
crisp design to the shape and handle and to the figures decorating
the sides.
Stein
1 is in good condition. There are no chips, cracks, or flakes. There
is one very fine hairline about 2 inches long down the right side.
There is also fine crazing throughout, consistent with age. The stein
has a very clean interior.
Stein
2 is in fair condition. It has both a fine hairline as well as a rim
flake (as shown above). There is also fine crazing
throughout. Together,
they display as a gorgeous pair. Both
pieces are marked on the bottom with the incised old Hull "H" logo
in a circle and the number 492. Price:
$79 for pair.
Hull Imperial F41
Rectangular Low Flower Bowl
A very pretty dark green "rectangular low flower bowl" from
Hull Pottery, with a very minimal smooth design, down to the rounded
corners. This lovely bowl measures 7.5 inches long (at the rim), 5. 5
inches wide at the middle, and 2.25 inches high. It is shown on page
186 of the Roberts' "Collector's Encyclopedia of Hull Pottery" in
an Imperial line ad, and the color is identified as "jade green."
This planter is in very good condition. There are no cracks or chips
or crazing. It is very clean on the inside as well, with just a bit of
scratching, mainly on the interior bottom, from use. The piece is marked
with a clear incised mark for "hull USA F41." Price: $10.00.
