Guy Wolff #2 Shenandoah w/ attached saucer

This is a Guy Wolff #2 Shenandoah with attached saucer, handthrown by the Guy Wolff Guid in Honduras   

• In 1998 shortly after Hurricane Mitch, Peter Wakefield Jackson took Guy Wolff to Honduras to work with a talented group of potters who were trained to make Guy's traditional garden pottery forms.
• Guy designed this pot with inspiration from the 19th century potters of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, who helped make flower pots with attached saucers one of the most popular items of their time.
• It is also stamped with "G. Wolff & Co." and the #2. The #2 refers to the pounds of wet clay that the potter used to make the pot. This is a tradition that goes back to Victorian times.
• The piece is made from red terra cotta clay, that is fired to approximately 1800 degrees, then hand finished with a stain wash.  
• It measures approximately 5" top diameter, 5" tall.
• Wakefield Studio has been Guy Wolff's only domestic production partner, and since 1996 has handmade all the USA made Guy Wolff pots that were offered to stores such as Smith & Hawken, and other high end garden retailers.
