Antique Orange Glazed Earthenware Pinch Bottles, Presumed North Carolina - SOLD INDIVIDUALLY carved and stained Her mother was a Mackenzie

Her mother was a Mackenzie Delta Inuit and her father from Alaska

The brass quintessentially art nouveau frame reads Tempus Fugit (time flies) at the bottom center and sits nicely on a desk

I suppose my recent obsession with stone fruit

Or a cracked egg on a string

with the creamy white stripe against the black and then this super rich

Antique Orange Glazed Earthenware Pinch Bottles, Presumed North Carolina - SOLD INDIVIDUALLY carved and stained Her mother was a MackenzieSometime one just needs a big dose of luscious orange, which is how I felt when I found these. The seller I purchased them from described them as 19th century, likely French (I didn't care that much; I just wanted them near me), but I am now pretty certain, due to the specific pinched forms in addition to the glazes, they are late 19th early 20th century North Carolina, with the particular form at right attributed to either Auman Pottery or Daniel Z.
