Vintage Camark Arkansas Art Pottery 1950s Small Cream Color Pitcher Basin MINT

Description

Lovely small Camark Artware Pottery pitcher and wash basin pair, from the 1950s. This beautiful cream-colored set, which in this case is the natural color of the clay, has a simple timeless edge design and is in absolutely mint condition. Founded in 1926, the Camden Art Tile and Pottery Company was the third and last producer of Art Pottery in Arkansas. By the end of its first year, its name had changed to Camark to include both the city of Camden in Ouacita County and the state of Arkansas. Camark Pottery eventually became one of Camden’s best-known industries and was known nationwide. The pottery was closed in the mid-sixties. This set is their pattern number 309, which is marked on the bottom, along with USA which identifies it as made in the USA Art Pottery. I have nothing at all to report in the way of condition; this pitcher and basin is completely perfect. Measurements are as follows: basin - length handle to handle 8.5”/21.5cm, width 7.5”/19cm, height 1.875”/4.5cm, base diameter 4”/10cm, and weight 14oz/0.4kg; pitcher - height at highest point near mouth 5.5”/14cm, height of handle 5.875”/15cm, length lip to handle 5.25”/13cm, width of mouth 2.75” opening diameter approximately 2”/5cm, body approximately 4”/10cm length x 4”/10cm width, base diameter 2.75”/7cm, and weight also 14oz/0.4kg. The combined height of both pitcher and basin is 6.25”/16cm at handle, and the combined weight is 1lb 12 oz/0.8kg. This beautiful mid-century pottery pair would add to the decor of any room in your home!
