FROM THE WORKSHOPS OF GERALD E. HENN
THIS IS A GORGEOUS HAND SPONGED
RETIRED AND HARD TO FIND--
BROWN SPONGEWARE
SUGAR BOWL WITH LID
THIS IS IN NICE CONDITION
NO CHIPS, CRACKS, OR FLEA BITES BUT DOES HAVE SOME SLIGHT CRAZING ON THE INSIDE OF THE BOWL
THIS PIECE MEASURES 3 7/16" X 4 1/8" AND WILL HOLD 8 OZ. OF SUGAR OR POWDERED CREAMER ETC.
IT IS MARKED WITH THE ORIGINAL FRIENDSHIP POTTERY LOGO ON THE BOTTOM ( FP MADE IN ROSEVILLE, OHIO )
FRIENDSHIP POTTERY HAND MADE ALL POTTERY FOR HENN IN THE EARLIEST YEARS OF THE COMPANY WHEN HENN SOLD BASKETS, PRIMITIVES WOODENWARE AND POTTERY UNDER THE COUNTRY HOME NAME. ORIGINALLY HENN SOLD BLUE, ROSE AND BROWN SPONGEWARE. THE BLUE WAS THE MOST POPLULAR AND STILL IS AND THE BROWN AND ROSE WERE RETIRED AND REPLACED WITH CRANBERRY AND GREEN SPONGE.
FRIENDSHIP POTTERY BURNED DOWN MANY YEARS AGO AND NEVER REBUILT MAKING THE OLDER PIECES VERY COLLECTIBLE.
THIS SAME MOLD WAS USED RIGHT UP UNTIL HENN STOPPED PRODUCTION OF THE CURREN HENN LINE OF POTTERY
THE BROWN POTTERY IS VERY HARD TO FIND AND LOOKS ABSOLUTLELY STUNNING FOR THE NOT TOO FAR OFF AUTUMN TABLE!
I ONLY HAVE A FEW PIECES OF THE HARD TO FIND BROWN SPONGEWARE
MICROWAVE, DISHWASHER SAFE
I AM ALSO LISTING THE 1/2 PINT CREAMER IN ANOTHER AUCTION -- IF INTERESTED --
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING
