1990s Stoneware Good
HDRP-VR-0019
A genuine vase from Mark Hewitt’s celebrated pottery in Pittsboro, North Carolina — a tall beaker form, about seven inches, that flares just slightly toward the rim. The speckled cream-and-buff salt glaze carries warm orange-tan flashing from the firing, the kind of surface you only get from salt and wood and a potter who knows what he’s doing. Run your fingers inside and you’ll feel the throwing rings; turn it over and the foot is left raw, the way it should be. Highlights & Details
  • Salt-glazed stoneware, wood-fired — speckled cream/buff with orange-tan flashing
  • Tall flared beaker form, approximately 7 inches high
  • From Mark Hewitt’s workshop, Pittsboro, North Carolina
  • Marked on the base with Mark Hewitt’s impressed circular monogram — the personal stamp his pottery has used since the mid-1990s — alongside an impressed firing number
  • Visible throwing rings inside; unglazed footring
Condition: Good. One small chip to the rim; otherwise sound, with no cracks — solid and lovely for display or a few stems.

Mark Hewitt Pottery Salt-Glazed Stoneware Vase — Impressed Circular Monogram, Small Rim Chip

Post-1995 (1990s or later)

Studio / Southern Salt-Glaze Pottery

Mark Hewitt has potted in Pittsboro, North Carolina since 1983. English-born, he apprenticed under Michael Cardew, placing him squarely in the Bernard Leach line of English country pottery, and he works in wood-fired, salt-glazed stoneware from local clay. He is a living, widely collected potter and very much part of the North Carolina pottery tradition that runs centuries deep in that part of the state. This vase came from Mark Hewitt's workshop, as evidenced by his impressed circular monogram on the base — the personal mark his pottery has used since the mid-1990s — along with an impressed firing number.

It came to us from a North Carolina estate, one of several Mark Hewitt salt-glazed pieces a collector had gathered over the years. The salt glaze does what salt glaze does best: a speckled cream-and-buff ground with warm orange-tan flashing where the flame and the salt found it, so no two pots come out alike. You can read the work of the hand in it — throwing rings circling the inside, a footring left honestly raw. There is real pleasure in owning a pot from a celebrated, still-working potter, made in a salt-glaze tradition that goes back centuries.

Materials Wheel-thrown, wood-fired, salt-glazed stoneware from local North Carolina clay; speckled cream-and-buff glaze with orange-tan flashing; unglazed footring.
Care Hand-wash and dry; skip the dishwasher and microwave. Salt-glazed stoneware is durable, but handle the chipped rim gently and avoid knocks. For display or cut stems, not heavy daily use.

Mark Hewitt is one of those potters people drive a long way to find. English-born, he apprenticed under Michael Cardew — which puts him squarely in the Bernard Leach line of English country pottery — and he’s been potting in Pittsboro, North Carolina since 1983. Wood-fired, salt-glazed stoneware from local clay. He’s a living, working potter, widely collected, and very much part of the North Carolina pottery tradition that runs centuries deep in that part of the state. This vase came from Mark Hewitt’s workshop, as evidenced by his impressed circular monogram on the base — the personal mark his pottery has used since the mid-1990s — along with an impressed firing number. It’s a tall, slightly flared beaker form, around seven inches, and the salt glaze does what salt glaze does best: a speckled cream-and-buff ground with warm orange-tan flashing where the flame and the salt found it. No two come out alike. You can read the work of the hand in it — throwing rings circling the inside, a footring left honestly raw. It came to us from a North Carolina estate, one of several Mark Hewitt salt-glazed pieces a collector had gathered over the years. She clearly loved this pottery, and you can see why — there’s real pleasure in owning a pot from a celebrated, still-working potter, made in a salt-glaze tradition that goes back centuries. Details
  • Origin: Mark Hewitt’s workshop, Pittsboro, North Carolina (genuine, mark-confirmed)
  • Material: salt-glazed, wood-fired stoneware from local clay
  • Form: tall flared beaker, approximately 7 inches high
  • Surface: speckled cream/buff salt glaze with orange-tan flashing; visible throwing rings inside
  • Marks: Mark Hewitt’s impressed circular monogram (the personal stamp in use since the mid-1990s) plus an impressed firing number
  • Base: unglazed footring
Condition: Good. There is one small chip to the rim — stated plainly so you know exactly what you’re getting. Beyond that the vase is sound, with no cracks, structurally solid, and ready for display or a handful of stems. One small honest flaw on a hand-thrown, wood-fired pot — the kind of character that comes with the territory.
