Item Description
Blue Mountain Pottery was Canada's largest manufacturer of quality giftware pottery from its introduction in 1947 until the plant closed for good December 2004.
Located in Collingwood, Ontario, the uniqueness of Blue Mountain Pottery was a combination of the rich red clay, used in the moulding of the items, and the special glazing used to create the various shades of colour called "Reflowing Decorating". There should always be an area of every item that reveals the red clay found only in the Collingwood, Ontario area.
According to the Blue Mountain Pottery information sheets, there are 2 different hand-applied glazes, one light and one dark in colour. During the firing process the lighter glaze runs as it passes through the darker glaze. It is nearly impossible to have any two pieces identical because of this process making each piece unique in itself.
The most popular colouring of Blue Mountain Pottery has always been the green toned items, but over the years, particularly during the 1960's, other colours were introduced such as Harvest Gold, Mocca, Cobalt Blue, Pewter, Red, Brown, etc. The product line also expanded over the years from decor vases and figurines to include kitchen cannisters and servers to complete tea and coffee sets along with many other utilitarian items.
These beautiful vases are approximately 5 3/4" tall x 3 1/2" wide (tall, thin vase), 4 1/2" tall x 7" wide (two handled vase) and 5 1/4" tall x 3" wide (tall bottle vase).
