Nemadji Pottery Vase, Bisque-ware, Marbled Ceramics Kettle River Moose Lake, MN.

Nemadji Pottery Vase, Bisque-ware, Marbled Ceramics Kettle River Moose Lake, MN. Gorgeous bisque-ware pottery vase. Brown striations highlighted with rust and amber. Nemadji Tile & Pottery Co. of Moose Lake, Minnesota, began producing their swirled pottery in 1929. The name “Nemadji” is an Ojibwe word meaning “left-handed.” Nemadji pottery was molded from either a colored or white clay, fired and left in a bisque state. Different colored paints were floated on top of a vat of water and a small bit of vinegar was added to help separate the paints. Using a technique similar to marbling paper, the fired vase was hand-dipped into the water and swirled in the floating colors. The pieces did not have to be refired and dried quickly, creating uniquely decorated pots every time. In pristine collector’s quality. H: 3.5” W: 3”
