William J Walley Pottery three handled blue vase
William J Walley Pottery three handled vase. Glazed in an unusual blue to blue green flambe glaze dripping over the angled and swirl like handles. It measures 9 3/8 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches in diameter at the widest. It is in great condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs, just some minor in the making glazed over clay shrinkage fissures by the handles and a few tiny edge and foot flakes.. Die-stamped WJW. Walley used a wide variety of glazes, more than the Grueby or Merrimac Potteries to whom his work is often compared. The pottery was located in West Sterling Massachusetts where he began in 1898, making everything by hand. He died in 1919. An unusual piece of New England Arts & Crafts era art pottery.
