Blue Mountain Pottery
dolphin in green and black colour. Made from the Collingwood, Ontario rich red clay enhanced with the trademarked multi-toned green & black
glaze.
This dolphin is hollow cast with the glazed
interior. Blue Mountain Pottery was a Canadian pottery company located in
Collingwood, Ontario. It was founded in 1947 by Jozo Wieder and closed in 2004.
Originally producing hand painted ski motifs on purchased blanks, production of
the red clay items started in 1953-1954. It went on to produce various types of
pottery, from animal figurines to jugs, pots and vases. The company's products
have a large fan base and are collected worldwide.
Blue Mountain Pottery items feature an unique,
trademarked glazing process known as "re-flowing decorating." Two
different liquid glazes, one light and one dark in colour, were applied. During
the firing process the glazes would run, creating streaking patterns unique to
each piece.
