This listing is for a Shearwater Pottery Washerwoman, 3" tall in Excellent condition, with a very nice crackle to the finish. This was acquired at auction and is a fine exam[le of this very collectible pottery."Shearwater Pottery was founded in 1928 by Peter Anderson with the support of his parents, George Walter Anderson and Annette McConnell Anderson. From the 1920s through the present day, Shearwater Pottery has produced art pottery, utilitarian ware, figurines, decorative tiles and other pottery pieces. Shearwater Pottery is high-grade hard fired earthenware intended for functional as well as decorative use. Each piece is individual and unique in nature.""The essence of Shearwater Pottery appears in its wonderful array of glazes and glaze combinations. Paul E. Cox helped Peter Anderson in perfecting his glazes in the early years of Shearwater Pottery. When Peter married Pat Grinstead, she became the business manager and most ardent admirer of the pottery. Shoal, Wisteria, Spring Green and the other names she selected for many of the unique glazes reflected her admiration for the pottery her husband produced. Peter enjoyed experimenting with different glazes and color combinations, and that enjoyment has been handed down to both Jim and Peter Wade, who continue to produce new colors and unique one of a kind pieces.
