    Description

    For auction I have a very nice piece of art pottery made by Marblehead Pottery of Marblehead, Mass. This piece of art pottery is called a "Wall Pocket" vase. The vase has somewhat a flat back and has a round triangular shape. It  stands 4 3/8" tall and is 5" wide and is 4 3/8" deep.
    The vase displays a rich matte speckled gray glaze that is not as commonly found as the blue. I believe that the speckling is caused by the red clay peeking through the matte gray outer glaze. This glaze is also called "Monochrome" by the Marblehead collector community. The inside of the vase has a beautiful robins egg blue waterproofing high gloss interior glaze. When you hold this vase in your hands you can feel the quality and strength of the piece.
    The vase is considered to be excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There is a glaze separation on the back inside wall of the pocket. This is factory and is considered insignificant. The vase is not signed as is the case with these. They were signed with a paper label that simply fell off over time. Wall Pockets from Marblehead Pottery are some of the hardest to find. I don't believe they made many of these. In my 37+ years as a dealer I have only seen this form a few times.
    Those of you who collect Marblehead Pottery and want a an excellent example do not let this one pass you by. In my research I noticed very few of this form in this size could be found. This leads me to believe that this size and form is somewhat rare. This would look just outstanding in or on that Stickley, Mission Style Arts and Crafts bookcase.
    This piece was made Circa 1904-1915.
    Marblehead Pottery was established in 1904 by Dr. Herbert J. Hall as a Studio Art Pottery in Marblehead, Massachusetts using the art and technique of ceramics manufacturing and decorating as a rehabilitation and therapeutic aid to local sanitarium patients at Hall's Devereux Mansion Sanitarium. Marblehead Pottery stopped producing Art Pottery in 1936. Marblehead Pottery was a small Pottery Company never employing more than 6 workers. Their Pottery is considered somewhat scare as compared to their Contemporaries of the day.

    I want to apologize for slowing down my shipping time. Ebay forced me into managed payments in July of this year 2020.
    I used to get my money in 24 hours. I now get it in 3-4 business days. I was told it would be better for me and my fees would go down. This has been the opposite as my fees have actually increased and now it takes longer for me to receive the payments
    . Because of this slowdown I will not ship until the payment has made it into my bank account. No store lets you out of the building with the
    merchandise
    unless it is paid for.
    They are also n
    ow charging all sellers a commission of 11.5% on sales tax. Pay Pal used to charge 2.9% payment processing fee but Ebay has changed this to 11.5%. This is an increase of 8.6% on the sales tax portion. They are now making a profit on the sales tax and treating it as a sale which in my eyes is wrong!! They did the same on the shipping charges several years ago. They use to not charge anything and now they are charging 11.5% commission on shipping as well. This has raised the cost to ship items to you, the buyer and this is factored into my shipping charges.
    If you feel what Ebay is doing is wrong or you don't agree them please contact Ebay and voice your opinion. Maybe if enough of you do this, they will change their policy.
