This little known pottery establishment was formed in 1888 and lasted until 1906. The Bell Brothers company was formed out of a partnership of 3 men - William M. Bell, Edward F. Bell & Henry W. Flentke. The Bell brothers grew up in Wheeling, West Virgina and in 1880 moved to East Liverpool to run a glass jobbing business. This venture was quit successful and gave them the knowledge and skills they would need to form a pottery producing company. They were lured to this Northwestern Ohio town due to the discovery of natural gas in great quantities. The local Findlay trustees were advertising free land, free gas & a $10,000 cash incentive to the first pottery plant to remove their works and employ at least 100 persons. This wonderfully hand painted mug/tankard is hand signed by the artist, N.M.S, July 16, 1902. The paint is very good, especially for a piece made in 1902. This piece was obviously well taken care of for these 100+ years. This is fresh from an estate in Findlay, Ohio. The mug is approximately 5-1/2" tall. The base is 4-1/2" in diameter and the top opening is 3-3/8" in diameter. No chips, cracks, hairlines, or crazing. I accept Paypal, Money Orders/Cashier's Check, and Personal Checks. WE WILL BE GLAD TO COMBINE MULTIPLE PURCHASES ON ONE INVOICE. THIS WILL SAVE ON YOUR SHIPPING COST. **WE ALWAYS SHIP WITHIN 24 HOURS OF RECEIVING YOUR PAYMENT** It is being sold with NO RESERVE and very low starting price. This is an absolute auction, highest bidder wins.Please let us know if you have any questions.
