This horse plaque was made by Camark Potteries
in Arkansas. The red looks just like Broadmoor's red
glaze. |

This unmarked
advertising ashtray has a similar thick red glaze. It
may be Camark as the back is glazed much like
the horse plaque. Broadmoor also made advertising
ashtrays with this dimpled look but without glazed
bottoms. |

Our small grouping shows a mix of Broadmoors
and Camarks. The vase and lily pad are Broadmoor. The
donkey planter has an early Camark label
and was probably made during the Broadmoor years. The
large lamp base has the same look as the donkey and is
believed to be Camark. |

Broadmoor's red is called "Oxblood" from a
1930s Colorado Springs pamphlet.
It was their most common and successful gaze.

Finally two
red Park Lane (Denver) Hotel ashtrays were believed at
first to be Broadmoors, since the pottery also made
other items for the hotel. |

We were surprised to find
a faint Camark ink stamp on one of the ashtrays. The
slightly larger ashtray with a notched matchbook slot
is unmarked so could be from either pottery. (Also
notice the Bitucote ashtray is similarly notched.)

The previous
Camark owner believed it was made in the 1950s and has
a bottom ink stamp reading "Copyrighted by
Camark". The earlier Broadmoor from the 1930s is
larger and more attractive but also perhaps easier to
come by.
