Apple blossom pink. That description says it all. And indeed, this art deco Cowan Pottery Apple Blossom Footed Compote/Bowl is simply fantastic.
Guy Cowan, the founder of Cowan Pottery, made pottery in Rocky River, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, from 1913 to 1931. Originally formed as the Cleveland Pottery and Tile Company by designer, potter and teacher R. Guy Cowan, the Cowan Pottery Studio, which operated from 1913 to 1931, produced outstanding and technically extraordinary pieces, which brought international recognition to American art pottery. The expertise of the talented artists and chemists in residence allowed them to create distinctly modern forms and glazes during its short-lived existence that have never been reproduced.
This particular bowl (shape #741-A) was designed in the late 1920s. has two stickers that have thus fallen off of the item--one with the name Blair Hackney, possibly the artist who painted the piece; and a price tag.
Very nice vintage condition--no chips, cracks, or restoration. Slight crazing throughout. Marked at the base with die-impressed Cowan logo.
H 2.75", W 6.25", L 12.5", base 5.5" x 3.75."
