Important folk pottery auction (Meaders, Edgefield by Chandler ...

(ADAIRSVILLE, Ga.) – A huge two-part auction featuring over 200 pieces of rare and important pottery (to include Edgefield pieces by Chandler, works attributed to Dave the Slave, and many pieces by the renowned Meaders family), outstanding furniture, fine estate jewelry, original works of art by listed artists and more will be held Saturday, Dec. 11, starting at 2 pm. The auction will be held by Ken’s Antiques & Auction at the firm’s new gallery facility located at 204 South Main Street in Adairsville, a town situated about an hour north of Atlanta and an hour south of Chattanooga, not far off exit 306 of Interstate 75. The pottery items will be offered first, from 2 pm until about 5 pm. After that, the mixed merchandise will cross the block. The contribution of the Meaders family to the world of folk art cannot be overstated. And the sale will feature dozens of original Meaders works, from four face jugs by Lanier Meaders (including one double-face jug) to the only known rooster dish ever crafted by Arie Meaders, the family’s matriarch. Works by Cheever (the father), Edwin and Reggie Meaders will also be sold. Lanier Meaders (Ga., 1917-1988) is the most famous potter the U.S. has ever produced. The third child of Arie and Cheever, he infused his work with style and sculptural creativity. He and Arie were honored by the Library or Congress with a Meaders Pottery Day in 1978 and his face jugs are in the Smithsonian Institute. No folk pottery collection is complete without one. Dave the Slave (1801-1875?) is another folk artist whose work is coveted by collectors. The enslaved African-American lived in Edgefield, S.C., and made alkaline-glazed stoneware from the 1820s to the 1860s. He was taught the art of pottery by his owner, Harvey Drake, whose last name he adopted after his emancipation. The works in the sale are all unsigned attributions.
