Um, in around the early 1930s and has been passed through the family since.
APPRAISER: And they were from which region?
GUEST: They're from Ohio, I believe Akron.
Since we watch ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, we know a lot of ceramics come out of Ohio, so we kind of suspect maybe this is a piece from one of the artists in Ohio.
APPRAISER: The Arts & Crafts movement in this country started in the 1890s or so and went on until the early '20s.
And it's done in that period.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: So it could indeed have been given as a wedding gift...
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: ...but it would have been old then.
It's made somewhere between 1905 and 1915 or so.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: This was made by the Grueby Pottery of Boston, Massachusetts.
GUEST: Oh!
Well, that's a surprise.
APPRAISER: It's one of the great potteries of this country.
The quality was wonderful.
And they really epitomized the Arts & Crafts movement because what they made was so organic looking...
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: ...that it's been said it was like picking something out of a garden.
Like a cucumber or a squash.
GUEST: Right, uh-huh.
APPRAISER: They were looking to have a really vegetal glaze to most of their pieces.
GUEST: Uh-huh.
APPRAISER: Now, there's a few other glazes that they would use, like brown or blue-gray, for example, but the green is what they made most of, and that is the most collectible.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: Very pretty, too.
It's all hand-thrown.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: The leaves, which you see here, full-height leaves, were all rolled as little pieces of clay and put one at a time.
GUEST: Oh.
Is that so?
APPRAISER: And what makes this piece rare is that it has these little buds in between.
GUEST: Uh-huh.
APPRAISER: You don't see many of those.
And that these particular buds are not green, they're not yellow they're ivory.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: If you collect this, this is very good.
GUEST: Good!
APPRAISER: So the glaze is great, the shape is great, it's a nice, big size.
What is too bad about this is that it has several small chips on it.
But it's still wonderful.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: At auction, I would estimate that, conservatively...
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: ...these days...
GUEST: Yes?
APPRAISER: ...at $4,500 to $6,500.
GUEST: Oh, wonderful.
It's been very informative.
I never would have known that.
