I was informed that the initials on this piece are those of Zedith Teague Garner, daughter of Brian Teague first Jugtown potter. This information comes from some one who went to school with and knew Zedith and her family very well. Thank you pc for the info. How ever from what I have read about James Teague is that potteries would have him throw pieces that were very large or elaborate and I think he may have thrown this piece and Zedith possibly did the glaze work. I will attribute the turning of this piece to tnowned master turner James G. Teague, and decorated by Zedith Teague Garner. The symmetry and form on this piece indicates that it is the work of an extremely skilled thrower. The coils are much smaller than one sees normally on hand made pieces and it appears as if it were made from a mold it is so well thrown. The piece stands 9âe high but seems to be higher for some reason, possibly because of the large diameter of the piece. The opening at the top is 3âe across, the bottom measures 3 ½âe across and the widest part of the vase is right around were the incised decoration is located and measures 6âe across, James Teague was known to decorate pieces using incised lines were the neck meets the body as decoration. The bottom is marked as shown âe~Teagues Lead Glazeâe(tm) and initialed with the initials Z.T.G. (Zedith Teague Garner) (1926-1977), daughter of B.D. Teague and Bessie Craven. The marking of âe~Teagues Lead Glazeâe(tm) almost seems like a mark one would see on an experimental piece possibly indicating the glaze type and yet the piece seems too big and well thrown to be used to test a new glaze on. Condition is basically perfect or mint. Not so much as a fleabite flake off the glaze, an impact mark, crack, hairline, chip, repair, etc. I feel after selling and buying N.C. pottery over the last 19 years or so that this is a true museum piece of N.C. pottery. The glaze is a darkish mustard yellow in color and has a semi gloss appearance, and yet has an almost flat look to it, please excuse my pictures they do not do this piece justice. Thanks for looking.
