| Stangl produced salt glazed stoneware during the early 1940s. It was produced for a limited time in an effort to attract tourists to the "Fulper Pottery Show Rooms" at Stangl's Flemington plant. Martin Stangl had been holding various pottery making demonstrations for years at the Flemington plant in order to attract tourists. Generally these demonstrations were simple and consisted of showing how the pottery was made (through displays) and how it was decorated (through demonstrations). During the early 1940's Martin Stangl made a dramatic move to showcase the entire method of producing finished pottery at the outlet. He did this by hiring an "Appalachian potter" by the name of James Teague to show how salt glazed stoneware was made. This was actually a very large undertaking on his part. Not only did he move Mr Teague from the "mountains of North Carolina" to Flemington, New Jersey, but also his family, his log cabin and even his "pottery kiln". Mr. Teague was a skilled potter and his demonstartions were very popular. Stangl's salt glazed stoneware can be found in a variety of different pieces. Common items include jugs, vases, churns, bean pots, candleholders, hurricane lamps, electric lamps, strawberry jugs, and flower pots. In general these items were all marked "STANGL STONEWARE" on the side of each piece near the bottom edge. These pieces can be found both undecorated and decorated with simple cobalt blue floral or geometric decorations. |
