Object Type
DescriptionPotters made agateware by combining and layering different colors of clay before forming the pots on the wheel or in molds. When thrown on a potter’s wheel, agateware typically exhibits swirling spirals of color. The most elaborately patterned agatewares feature clays stacked in thin layers before rolling, slicing, and recombining the components into slabs that the potter pressed into molds. Complex forms like square teapots required multiple molds.
Provenance[Whimsey Antiques, Arlington, Vermont]; purchased by Miss Ima Hogg, July 5,1956; given to MFAH, by 1966.
