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. Dora J Jones arrived in New York aboard
the Carmania
in October 1913 with mother Margaret Jane, sister Gwendolyn B and
brother Philip Charles. Cecil
had arrived earlier in June aboard the Caronia.
The Caronia's manifest
lists Jones as designer. Note
that Cecil Jones' son Philip died in Zanesville in 1918.

Records
place Cecil Jones and his family at Zanesville in 1920, and
in Glendale, California without Gwen in 1930. Dora
married George B Robertson (Claycraft Pottery) in 1933. We
believe she had a daughter Diana (b. 1947) but could not
track her down. |
