This is a Muncie Pottery Lamp Base in the Shape #223. Muncie Pottery refers to the ceramics produced by the Muncie Pottery Company, which operated in Muncie, Indiana, USA, from 1918 to 1939. The company was known for its high-quality art pottery, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s. Muncie Pottery pieces were typically marked with an impressed or stamped logo on the bottom. Muncie Pottery created a diverse array of shapes and styles. Unfortunately, like many pottery companies, Muncie Pottery faced financial challenges during the Great Depression. The company closed its doors in 1939, marking the end of an era for Muncie Pottery. Today, Muncie Pottery pieces are sought after by collectors of American art pottery. The unique glazes, innovative designs, and historical significance make Muncie Pottery a desirable collectible for those interested in early 20th-century American ceramics.
