THREE OHIO CAT DOORSTOPS

THREE OHIO CAT DOORSTOPS
Includes two by Peters and Reed, Muskingum County, early 20th century; one is in the mirror black finish and the other is in a mottled olive-mustard glaze, 9.75" high; together with a reclining sewertile cat, 12" long. James Murphy references Peters and Reed in his article on the nearby Logan Pottery ("Art Pottery Archaeology: The Enduring Enigma of Peters and Reed" in The Journal of the American Art Pottery Association, v.16, n. 6, p.8-14, 2000.) suggesting that based on sherds found at the Logan Pottery site, some of the Peters and Reeds molds were used there, as was the mirror black glaze, though it is not known if Logan produced the cats or they were exclusively the product of Peters and Reed.
