Vase  with handles — J. B. Owens Pottery Company

The J. B. Owens Pottery was one of the largest potteries in operation in Zanesville, Ohio, during the end of the nineteenth and very early twentieth centuries. They produced a number of different lines of art pottery, some in emulation of those popularized by the Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati. They introduced their Feroza, or Feroza Faience, line in 1901, and produced a little over twenty different forms, generally characterized by their organic forms and decoration and the lustrous slightly metallic dark glaze.
