Cecil
Jones glazed this bowl while he was at American
Encaustic & Tile in Zanesville in the 1910s. He was obviously
familiar with
these crackle and irridescent glazes long before becoming acquainted
with Fred and George
Robertson at Claycraft in California or
Broadmoor Art Pottery in Colorado. |

After
Cecil Jones' death in 1949, the
bowl remained with his younger daughter
Dora until her death in 1976. She arrived in New York aboard the Caronia
in 1913, with her father, mother Margaret and sister Gwen. The
ship's manifest
lists Jones as designer. |

US
Census data place Cecil Jones and his family at Zanesville in 1920, and
Glendale, California in 1930. Dora
married George B Robertson (Claycraft) in 1933. We
believe she had a daughter Diana (b. 1947) but could not
track her down. |
