Vtg Ridge Comanche East Pottery Bowl 9” Desert Swirl Succulent Cactus Pot Plant

Description: Unique, rustic clay, art pottery bowl. Unused. Any errors are from manufacturing that we found. The bowl is 9 in diameter and 3 in tall. A Swirl of red, clay, beige, orange and shades of other colors. I've seen these filled with fake fruit as a display. Or planted with cactus' or succulents. Comanche Pottery was a brand owned by Ron Allen. Ron Allen (in 1934) and his brother were born in Comanche, Texas. He high tailed it out of there in 66 for Oxford, Mississippi, and perhaps, some time before or sometime after he had started "designing" pottery (there were some pieces hand marked Texas, and many businesses start in someone's head years before being incorporated). Some time after, then, he may have moved to North Carolina, and later back to Oxford, MS (or he may have just had a place there to do business out of sometimes); another possibility is that the pieces that appear to be marked NC actually all say INC (probably untrue of all, though some are, see final paragraph below). He "designed" pottery in all these places and may have made some of it (unclear), but also had employees, including one employee or collaborator who signed some pieces Kathy. He was known as a lifelong entrepreneur and if he is the same Ron Allen who spent time in NC (most probably as he definitely owned a factory there), then while there he founded a Washington, DC antique store in 1981 with another guy who actually ran it. According to his Oxford obituary he also had "various" other businesses, like a hardware store, a pet store, and some others. So after he moved (back?) to Oxford, he lived for some many years and died in2015.
