Abingdon pottery is readily recognized by its robust mold designs. Although vase shapes tend to be classical, motifs are most often distinctively art deco. There is little evidence that the company “borrowed’ design. Many of the sculptured pieces were designed by Mrs. Frances Moody at her kitchen table.
Authentic Abingdon Pottery is evidenced by the high quality of the clay; heavy, dense, white, vitreous china- finished with great attention to quality and detail. Its is the clay that distinguished Abingdon from Japanese copies produced around 1950s and the later use of Abingdon molds by Haeger.
Usually Abingdon Pottery is marked on the bottom with an ink stamp ABINGDON USA and an incised mold number. Some surviving pieces have the original foil sticker. Bottom edges were usually ground.
Industrial strength clay quality makes Abingdon pottery resistant to hairline cracks and chips. However some of the 190 glazes are subject to crazing.
Most valued Abingdon pieces include cookie jars, sculptured ware, figural bookends, and pieces with multicolor finishes. Like most areas of collecting rarity carries high value. Simple, single color vases can be found in the thirty to forty dollar range. A rare set of sculptured bookends recently sold for 5.00. The 1997 Abingdon Pottery Artware by Joe Paradis is the authoritative reference used by collectors.
