Description: This vase bears the stamp Nemadji Pottery U.S.A., the Moose Lake, Minnesota, company that began producing swirled pottery in 1929. From Etsy blog post History Lesson: Nemadji Pottery, "The name 'Nemadj' is an Ojibwe word meaning 'left-handed', but was easily misunderstood to be the name of a tribe. In the information sheet that accompanied their pots, Nemadji stressed that their wares were made with the same clays and shapes used by Native Americans. The connection of this marbled style of decoration with Native American production was more assumption than fact, but Nemadji was happy to encourage the idea. In reality, Eric Hellman, a Nemadji employee and Danish immigrant, came up with the idea to decorate the vases using simple house paint." I've come across a fair share of Nemadji...and I pass on many. Yet this vase stands out for the subtlety of the paints. The off white beige-y matte background is the predominant color, and on one side in particular are the marbles oranges, reds, and a touch of gray into black--which remind me of our Rio Grande Valley sunsets from the mesa tops.The vase measure about 8-1/2" tall with the widest section about 5" diameter. No chips or cracks. The matte surface does have some scuffs and pinhole bubble pops in the surface.A celebration of culture and place...and time.
