Provenance: The Sally and Paul Hawkins Collection
Note: This attributed Collin Rhodes attributed masterwork was purchased from the Collection of Tony and Marie Shank, this is one of the largest decorated pieces of Collin Rhodes stoneware to come to market in recent years, decorated Rhodes forms of this size are extremely rare. Collin Rhodes was a notable figure in Edgefield stoneware production during the 1830s and 1840s. Mr. Rhodes was associated with several factories, including an interest in the Pottersville factory from 1836 to 1839. In 1840, he co-owned the Phoenix Factory with Robert Mathis, and subsequently held full ownership of the C. Rhodes Factory from approximately 1841 to 1851. Both the Phoenix Factory and the C. Rhodes Factory were located on Shaw's Creek, on land previously owned by John and Amos Landrum, which Amos Landrum deeded to Mr. Rhodes in 1839. The Phoenix Factory operated for less than a year; however, historical and archaeological evidence suggests that Mr. Rhodes established his "C. Rhodes" factory on what appears to be the same site a few years later, likely after rebuilding the Phoenix Factory kiln.
