A genuine piece of mid-century California studio pottery by Walter Wilson, the celebrated Pasadena, California pottery maker active from 1943 to 1954 — hand-signed on the underside "Walter Wilson / Calif / 510."
Walter Wilson is a highly collectible and increasingly rare California pottery brand, known for exquisitely crafted giftware, figurines, and decorative ceramics produced during the golden age of California studio pottery. With the company active for just over a decade, authentic signed Walter Wilson pieces are hard to find and eagerly sought by serious collectors.
This beautiful tray features a two-tone glaze — a rich celadon/sage green glaze on the upper rim and walls, transitioning to a smooth, natural off-white stoneware body below — a hallmark of Walter Wilson's refined aesthetic. Mold number 510 is clearly inscribed, consistent with Walter Wilson's documented numbering system.
