VTG SIGNED HAND-THROWN POTTERY VASE IVAN HOUSER \'41 RUSHMORE POTTERY:
$29.99

Interesting small (3 1/2\" tall) cabinet vase created by Ivan Houser and his Company, Rushmore Pottery, Black Hills, S.D. Signed Ivan Houser 41 on the base. Excellent condition, color, matte glaze (small surface \"pop\" where it might have touched another piece when firing), and symmetry. Scarce piece! I accept PayPal and other forms of payment. Buyer pays $10.00 Priority shipping. Thanks!\"William Tallman and Ivan Houser both worked on the Mt. Rushmore monument. In their spare time they started Rushmore pottery and in 1935 began working at it full-time. Hand-thrown pottery was the focus of Rushmore. Ivan Houser worked like a studio potter, being solely responsible or each object. Houser followed Charles Binns\' precept control of the whole artistic process from conception to finished piece. Most Rushmore products, although decorative, are useful. Houser felt that pottery must be \"beautiful and useful at the same time\", again echoing Binns\' doctrine. Rushmore glazes also adhered to the Binns\' philosophy that \"much of the fascination of pottery making is centered in the glaze...because of the beauty and usefulness it imparts to ware.\" Formulas from Bins\' book, The Potters Craft\" were utilized, but Ivan Houser experimented and created his own glazes. He never purchased ready-made glazes. His glazes were widely diverse, ranging from crystalline to matte to high gloss in many colors and textures. Occasionally a potter was hired to help, but Houser continued to do the vast majority of the hand throwing. William Tallman created many of the early tiles. In 1940, Tallman sold his share of the pottery to a Houser and left South Dakota. Ivan Houser continued within the pottery until 1942.\"
