Signed Stanley Ballard Creamer Made for the Noyes House Museum, Morrisville, VT Search This is a very Vermont Studio pottery creamer made by Stanley Ballard (1917 - 1960). Ballard and David Gil of Bennington Potters are the most well-known mid-century Vermont Potters. They both studied with Parker Glidden at Alfred University in New York and then relocated to Vermont. Gil's Bennington Potters became and remains a commercial pottery, while Ballard spent his career working alone producing studio pottery with his own style, perfectly attuned to the decorative arts of his time. This piece is a classic creamer and the green drip glaze over a chocolate brown base which is uniquely associated with Ballard. This piece differs from most Ballard pieces in that it is incised by hand on the base, "Noyes House - Morrisville, VT" and Ballard's signature in script, "S. Ballard". The Noyes House is a museum located in a 19th-century Victorian mansion and administered by the Morrisville, Vt historical Society. It was opened as a historical site in 1952. This piece was made between then and Ballard's death in 1960. It is not unique, but is very uncommon. I would assume that it was made a souvenir to be sold at the museum which is not Ballard's usual practice. This creamer measures about 3-1/8 inches in diameter and stands about 2-1/8 inches tall. It is in excellent condition with no signs of damage or handling wear.
