Vintage Bill Gordy Georgia Art Pottery

Marked: Impressed stamp, noting GA Art Pottery by W.J.G for William J. Gordy.

Condition: No chips, cracks, hairlines or repairs. Some natural and original crudity noted in the stoneware clay at the lip and a couple minor places over the body. This pot has a nice ringing resonance and shows minimal use. Please note what appears to be natural ash forming in the upper half of the form---lovely.

Dimensions: 6.125"h x 5"w

Notes: William "Bill" Gordy formed his first pottery studio in 1935. Typically, Bill Gordy is known by many as a folk potter, but I would like to believe he was a studio potter with great skills, where he made outstanding functional wares for most of his life--a dedicated "man of the mud." This pot would fit well into a Modern studio collection or a a swirled Niloak bungalow collection. I will let you choose!!!
