Description
This
lamp
base
was
made
by
Walter
Benjamin
Stephen
(1875-1961)
as a
part
of his
American
Cameo
line
in the
1930s
. This
is
an
example
of
cameo
ware
Stephen
developed
from the
idea
of
Wedgwood
Pottery
in
England
.
Stephen
carefully
painted
the
scenes
onto his
ceramic
pieces
,
slowly
building
layers
of
porcelain
slip
. The
wagon
train
was a
popular
pattern
. The
design
came
from
Stephen's
memories
of
traveling
to
Nebraska
as a
boy
.
Stephen
opened
the
Pisgah
Forest
Pottery
in
Arden
,
North
Carolina
around
1926
and the
pottery
still
operates
today
.
