A collectible piece of art pottery known for its unique, colorful swirl designs and matte, unglazed finish. Made in Minnesota between 1929 and 2002. The marble-like effect was created by a Danish immigrant, Eric Hellman, in 1929. He dipped fired pottery into a vat of water with floating enamel paints. The vase dimensions are 9.5 inches (24.1 cm) in height and 5.5 inches (14 cm) in width with no evidence of chips or cracks.
Vintage Nemadji pottery is made from a blend of local clays that are then molded, fired, and hand-painted with a unique swirled pattern using different colored paints, often including brown, tan, and orange tones, and sometimes coated with shellac for a patina on the interior. The exterior of Nemadji pottery has a natural, matte finish that highlights the swirls. The inside is typically glazed to hold water. Nemadji Tile & Pottery Co. was founded in Moose Lake, Minnesota, and used clay from the nearby Nemadji River.
This piece was created between 1980–2002: Pottery from this era, known as the "Earth Pottery Era," features a stamp with an "Indian Head" image.
