Re: Need Held I.D.'ing pottery strawberry planter

That is a piece of Seagrove, NC area pottery. Most likely made by the J. B.Cole Pottery. Cole Pottery was started by J. B. Cole in the late 1800's and his descendants are still running it. There were several Cole's making pottery but your pot looks like the bottom has been sanded on a belt sander. J.B. Cole Pottery is the only one that did that.

It is typical tourist wear that was made for the folks driving through this area on the way North in the summer and South in the winter. I would guess that it would date from the 1950's or early 1960's. Round about the late 1960's Cole pottery started putting their stamp on the bottom of stuff like that.
