DescriptionThis creamer was made by Walter Benjamin Stephen (1876-1961) 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.
