I am proud to present to you, my Blue Mountain Pottery Collection.I will share with you everything I know about what I have here.
Blue Mountain Pottery was done in a rainbow of glaze colors,not just the green that most people are familiar with.I actually have 32 different glaze colors in my collection,17 different colors in this cabinet alone (including 2 Estrucian to the left of the 2 red ones).
Very rare items and costly too is the Native Artists Collection.Here we see the large Charger with original box(crate) and pamphlet.
Native Artists Series were done in canisters ,vases ,platters and plates,and salt and pepper shakers.I have seven of the nine different designs in this series.(7th is the plate by Jeffrey not on a stand).These were done by three Indian and Eskimo Canadian artists. This series was produced in the mid seventies to early eighties.

Wash Basins with pitchers.
Mixing Bowls in 7 different sizes. Other serving dishes and bowl sets.
There was a blue one like this for sale on eBay a few months ago.The Chevron marks on the body of this dish were done as a homage to the Natives who were the inhabitants of the Georgian Triangle area of Ontario. The Petun people were part of the Huron confederacy or association. Pieces of their pottery have been found in the areas south of Georgian Bay that was their territory. Blue Mountain Pottery made cream and sugar sets and possibly others with the hash marks to mimic the shards.
Planters and other items...
Blue Mountain Pottery was commissioned in the 70s to make the pottery part of this item...they were known to do things like this for other companies.
