The Vase Shapes of Burley Winter Blended Art

Vintage Burley Winter Shape Guide

Although Burley Winter had been producing utilitarian ware for decades, they did not begin delving into the art pottery market until very late in 1932. They initially sold only a small selection of the Blended Art pottery in limited glaze combinations. The 1932 catalog shows only 25 or so shapes, and none of the shapes between 20 and 100 which are so common today are listed. When these additional shapes were added, or for how long they were produced is unknown. Unlike other pottery companies such as Roseville Pottery and Grueby Pottery, few catalog pages have survived for collectors today.

Tall oil vases were given numbers starting at 100, and were considered a separate line from the floral vases. Most of these were over 20 inches tall.

Various other wares were given the Blended Art glaze, such as bean-pots, strawberry pots, and cookie jars. These were not generally given normal sequence number designations, but rather form specific ones such as #3 strawberry pot, which has no relation to vase #3.
