{"product_id":"vintage-studio-pottery-covered-casserole-speckled-stoneware-signed","title":"Vintage Studio Pottery Covered Casserole | Speckled Stoneware, Signed","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA generous hand-thrown stoneware casserole with a strap handle on the lid. The handle is attached with thumb-pressed clay buttons. The exterior has a warm ochre-and-rust glaze with heavy iron speckling. Inside, the bowl is a soft speckled celadon with visible throwing rings, framed by a raw, unglazed clay rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe base carries an incised signature, an \"East Valley Pottery\" stamp, and a potter's chop mark. Studio was likely located in East Valley, NY - south of Alfred, NY - typical of the small studios Alfred University graduates set up nearby in the 1960's - 1970's. The piece is signed on the base, though the incised mark is not fully legible. Given its glaze character, form, and known origin in New York's Finger Lakes region — home to generations of potters trained at or influenced by Alfred University — this bowl sits comfortably in the \"Alfred School\" lineage of American functional stoneware, alongside makers like Val Cushing who helped define the look.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's substantial enough to serve from and handsome enough to leave out as a centerpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLikely 1970s American studio pottery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e13\" diameter × approx. 7\" H (including handle).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCondition: Excellent, preowned condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67590628311350,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5316\/6390\/files\/Photoroom_20260927_122821.jpg?v=1790546813","url":"https:\/\/www.dogandponyshow.com\/products\/vintage-studio-pottery-covered-casserole-speckled-stoneware-signed","provider":"Dog \u0026 Pony Show","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
