The one on the left is a gray blue color. I believe the color is in the clay itself (in the paste) with a clear glaze. The other two seem to be experimental glazes (perhaps failed experiments...)

Another view of these dishes. They all have rounded bottoms and rock when touched. They are also very delicate.

I apologize for the blurriness of this image. This comes from the bottom of a nut dish and is typical of the Riverside pieces that are marked.

Apparently the smaller item at right was designed to be a cruet in the original Riverside production. Both had handles added when made by Loma.

A comparison between the Pigeon Forge version with a mottled, textured glaze and the handpainted Loma version.

I believe that Pigeon Forge adapted the Zeisel candleholder design to create this small dish that could be used as an ashtray or coaster.

Hand-incised marks like this can be found on many Pigeon Forge items.

This coffee set has a brass and brass plated serving rack. The coffee pot holder also plugs into an electrical outlet to heat the pot.

This teapot has the same electric warming stand that is found with the coffee pots. The brass plated handle is cane wrapped.

This version of the Gilley urn lost its base before it got to me so I have placed it on a base that came with a coffee pot (see coffee pots photo.) The urn appears to have been made with both an all

This coffee pot on candle-warming stand as well as the accompanying creamer and sugar bowl were are part of an early Ernest Sohn line marketed under the name "Copper and Color." Ernest Sohn

These are examples of other items in the Copper and Color line. They exhibit Sohn's penchant for combining materials in one item.

I like this stylized feather design which is featured in the casserole lid.

The black glaze designs continue around the entirety of the mug, all are at least slightly different. The interior of the mug is solidly glazed.

The desert motif has been abstracted in a wonderful way in my opinion...

I was very excited to recently find this coffee pot on eBay. The shape and decoration are very elegant I think. The piece is not marked.

I found this Marshall Studios bowl last week at at thrift shop in the South Bronx!

This shows the subtle shadings of iridescence of the as well as the indentation at the center of the teapot cover. This slight touch is so masterful--so Eva!
