Canada
Art Pottery; George Emery apprenticed in England
at the Wedgwood factory. He had immigrated to Hamilton, ON by
1920. He fashioned "jasper ware" under the name of Canada Art
Pottery. He marked pieces with that mark; also ECANADA and
Hamilton, Canada. Business was not one of his skills and he
closed in 1952. I was first introduced to this pottery when it
was drastically reduced for sale in the early 1950's. My Mom
bought a 10" center piece bowl for 69 cents at a gift store in
Paris ON. - Ruth
Tip: -
Avoid tank dipped furniture... It is impossible to
get a good finish on it and the odour never leaves.
Tip: - When storing
textiles... Folding puts stress on the threads at the
fold edges,so try to roll items or refold frequently.
Don't store in plastic or paper. Plastic holds moisture in
and contact with paper (unless acid free) or wood causes
discoloration. I prefer well rinsed white cotton such as
sheets or pillow cases for protection.. If plastic is used
at all, cover the surface with cotton. To protect exposed
surfaces from dust and light fading, cover with light weight
cotton.
