The following is some information about Glidden Pottery I found on the Internet: Glidden Parker & Glidden Pottery Glidden McLellan Parker, Jr. was born July 26, 1913 in Phillips , Maine . He earned a B.A. from Bates College (Lewiston, ME, 1931-35), attended the University of Vienna (1935-56) w he studied philosophy, the history of film and German literature, and was a graduate student in the summer school program at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred (NY) from 1937-39. While at Alfred he studied under Don Schreckengost, a noted ceramic industrial designer. He died in Santa Fe , New Mexico on February 19, 1980. Entrepreneurial, no doubt, it was Parker's ingenuity that helped move Glidden Pottery to the public's attention. Too, the designers he hired facilitated consumer (and, today, collector) interest in the product. Best known, perhaps, among the fewer than a dozen designers were Sergio Dello Strologo and Fong Chow. Some of the latter amous patterns includeâe~Eye of Godâe(tm) (so-named by contemporary collectors, not the firm or designer), âe~Green Mesaâe(tm), âe~Gulfstreamâe(tm), âe~Sandstoneâe(tm), âe~Charcoal and Riceâe(tm), and âe~Loopâe(tm) Artware. These designs were by Fong Chow (or, in a few instances, in collaboration with Parker); I suspect this, too, was not a coincidence. Chow worked at Glidden Pottery from 1953 (following his graduation from Alfred) until 1957, when Glidden Pottery closed. Interest in Glidden's output has, no doubt, been enhanced by the Internet. As is by now well known and acknowledged, the world wide web offers a wealth of information with varying levels of accuracy. Hence, interest in Glidden, once a strictly grassroots and homegrown phenomenon and the purview of the idiosyncratic and narrow specialist, has been piqued; "communities" of Glidden collectors, previously geographically dispersed are now formed in cyberspace. Too, and equally well known, such online auction services as eBay afford collectors endless opportunities to surf for the objects of their desire. read more
