The Nemadji Indian pottery with its bright, swirling designs of colors was created with one goal in mind and that was to catch the tourist’s eye. The Nemadji Tile & Pottery Co. began producing their swirled pottery in 1929. The name “Nemadji” is an Ojibwa word meaning “left-handed”, but was misunderstood to be the name of a tribe. Though early pots were hand-made, however, most Nemadji Pottery was molded using white clay then fired once and left unglazed. The colors was achieved by using different colors of oil paints that floated on top of a vat of water and a small amount of vinegar was added to help separate the colors. The pottery was hand-dipped into the water and swirled in the floating paint colors. The pieces where not refried and was dried quickly, creating uniquely decorated pots every time. The Nemadji was certainly not the first manufacturer who decorated pottery with a marbled effect. This process goes back as far as the 16th century. The Hallmark on this small vase is hard to see so I got a copy of the Hallmark from the internet for show only. The Hallmark on this vase helps to identify it and this Hallmark means that it was made with Native Clay. It is in mint condition with no cracks, chips, necks, fleabites, repairs, or stains. In addition, looks like it has never been used.
