Item Special Note
The artists at Ephraim Faience Pottery create pottery in the Arts and Crafts style. Their original designs and glazes are inspired by the beauty of nature and the aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement. Ephraim's artists work collaboratively on each piece they create. Their dedication to their art and to each other is reflected in their pottery.
Ephraim Faience pottery is thrown, sculpted, and glazed by hand. The hand-made nature of the pottery contributes to its individuality and enhances its collectibility. Each vessel bears the studio’s impressed mark and the signature of the principal artist. No more than 500 first-quality pieces of each design are created. Ephraim vases are art objects and are not intended to be functional as they are not water-tight. Destined to become antiques of the future, Ephraim pottery is heirloom quality and is designed to be treasured for generations.
Ephraim Faience is highly sought after by collectors across the United States. Retired and discontinued pieces are prized by collectors and regularly realize prices above their original retail value on the secondary market. The Ephraim Faience Pottery Collectors’ Society was started by a group of collectors in 2007 and will hold their third annual convention in Johnson Creek, WI, on June 25-26, 2010. More information about the Society and its convention can be found on the organization’s website, www.ephraimcollectors.org.
