PETERS & REED, MOSS AZTEC PINE CONE PLANTER, ARTS & CRAFTS DESIGN, GREAT DETAIL~

Description

For auction is a nice piece of art pottery made by the Peters and Reed Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The shape is a planter or small jardinière and it is  done in the ever popular "Moss Aztec" line of art pottery. The jardinière measures 6 3/8" in diameter and is 3 1/8" tall. The inside opening measures 5 3/4" in diameter.
The base clay is a terracotta in color. The planter depicts an embossed Pine Cone with pine needles hanging off a branch. There are 4 of these surrounding the planter. The jardinière is glazed in the Moss Aztec technique, which is a terracotta glaze with a Verde green accent applied in the low relief areas. It resembles moss that grows in shady areas as it sits inside the crevices or lower relief areas of the design. There is an abundant amount of the green moss in all the low areas of the planter. There is a brown waterproofing glaze on the interior so you can actually use it.
This jardinière is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. The vase shows minor signs of use but nothing that is obtrusive.This piece is unsigned as is the case with this line however, it is guaranteed to be vintage Peters and Reed from the Moss Aztec line of art pottery.
Peters and Reed Pottery (1897-1919) was bought out in 1920 and the name was changed to Zane Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio. They still produced some of the same styles as Peters and Reed. They changed from red clay to white clay products in 1926. Frank Ferrel designed this line for Peters and Reed. He was employed there from 1906-1918. In 1918 he left Peters and Reed to work for Roseville Pottery. The piece was made circa 1910-1915.
PLEASE READ BELOW
I want to apologize for slowing down my shipping time. Ebay forced me into managed payments in July of this year 2020.
I used to get my money in 24 hours. I now get it in 3-4 business days. I was told it would be better for me and my fees would go down. This has been the opposite as my fees have actually increased and now it takes longer for me to receive the payments
. Because of this slowdown I will not ship until the payment has made it into my bank account. No store lets you out of the building with the
merchandise
unless it is paid for.
They are also n
ow charging all sellers a commission of 11.5% on sales tax. Pay Pal used to charge 2.9% payment processing fee but Ebay has changed this to 11.5%. This is an increase of 8.6% on the sales tax portion. They are now making a profit on the sales tax and treating it as a sale which in my eyes is wrong!! They did the same on the shipping charges several years ago. They use to not charge anything and now they are charging 11.5% commission on shipping as well. This has raised the cost to ship items to you, the buyer and this is factored into my shipping charges.
If you feel what Ebay is doing is wrong or you don't agree them please contact Ebay and voice your opinion. Maybe if enough of you do this, they will change their policy.
