Antique Glazed Utopia J.B.Owens Art Nouveau Style Vase 14.5  Tall
Owens Pottery was founded by John B. Owens in 1885. Owens began producing art pottery in 1896 with the introduction of the Utopian line, which soon brought Owens Pottery to national acclaim, with several awards. Many, to this date, believe Owens Pottery remains undervalued in comparison to its better known competitors. The highest quality Owens’ piece rivals the art pottery produced by competing firms including Rookwood, Roseville, and Weller. It is believed that Owens ceased art pottery production in 1907. After stopping art pottery production, Owens focused on producing tiles as the J.B Owens Floor & Wall Tile Co. until 1929. No cracks or chips but a little cracking of the glaze on one spot, please see picture.
