This vase was
thrown by Jonathan Hunt during his time
with Haeger Potteries. |
|
|
The matte is
similar to Haeger's Meregreen (see p 53, House
of Haeger), however our mint
glaze looks somewhat paler.

These bottom
shots show the same Hunt-signed vase. It
is incised "696" in the same manner as
other Haeger pottery from the 1934
exhibition (link).
But it lacks other identifying marks, such
as dates, often found on their World's
Fair vases.

|
The scanned
shot below (click)
better shows the incised number. And
"Haeger Pottery" has been written at some
point in pencil. Hunt's handwriting?

From this newpaper
scan provided by Hunt's
great granddaughter Sue,
Hunt remained with Haeger
to work off the backlog of
orders made by "departing
fair-goers".

Hunt must have left
Haeger sometime in 1935,
since the 1936 Ames, Iowa
directory (click)
already lists him as
"thrower" at Ames Pottery.
Wife Zada is also listed (click).

In late 1937 Jonathan
Bowne Hunt became
Broadmoor's potter in
Denver.
