Description
figural hound handle, matte green glaze with raised scenes of hounds and deer in forest, 13" tall, 10 1/2" wide, excellent.....J. Nelson Vance, J. D. Culbertson, and Charles W. Franzheim, who founded the Wheeling Pottery Company, incorporated the Vance Faience Company in 1900. Charles E. Jackson (1874-1935), previously employed at Wheeling’s Riverside Pottery, became the manager. The company experimented with ornamental and practical lines.There were two plants, one in Tiltonsville, Oho, about eight miles north of Wheeling, and the other in Wheeling, West Virginia.Rudolph Lorber (1872-1952) designed most of the pieces for the Vance Faience Company.In 1902, the Vance Faience Company became the Avon Faience Company. William P. Jervis was appointed manager. In addition to continuing to use molds created by Lorber, Jervis designed an artware line.Frederick Hurten Rhead joined the company in 1903, albeit only for a brief period.Wheeling Pottery absorbed Avon Faience in 1902 and operated it as a separate company. Avon continued to make heavy-bodied artware and experimented with various decorative motifs.Jervis and Rhead left Avon Faience in 1903. Artware production was moved from the Tiltonsville plant to the Wheeling plant in 1905. When the ceramic body changed from earthenware to semi-porcelain., artware production ended. The Tiltonsville plant was retooled to make sanitary wares.Avon Faience ceased operations in 1908.
