Here is a classic piece of Arts and Crafts (Art Pottery) made by Niloak Pottery of Benton, Arkansas, likely dating to the mid-1930s. The novelty shape is a covered wishing well, with deep interior pocket for plants or for use as a vase, with a second opening on the backside of the rooftop, for climbing plants to grow through. It's a really neat shape in a very pretty green and tan matte glaze (referred to as a Lewis' glaze, created by Howard Lewis, Niloak's designer in the early 1930s). The shape was created by another noted Niloak design, Joe Alley. This piece is described on pages 228-29 of the "Collector's Encyclopedia of Niloak Pottery" as an Alley design with a Lewis glaze.
This "novelty item" measures 8 inches high the the ends of the roof. It is 4.5 inches wide and 4 inches deep across the foot ring. The piece is in very good condition, with no chips or cracks. There are signs of crazing around the stones on the bottom front, but it feels smooth when I rub my thumbnail across it (the "thumbnail test").
The bottom has a raised block mark for Niloak. (Please note that USPS Priority Shipping within the US, with insurance, is included in the price.) less
