The pottery closed in 2014 after the death of Thomas Case, Stephen’s step-grandson. He closed the pottery when his parents died in 1910, and eventually, with the help of others, established Pisgah Forest Pottery in 1926. He worked with his mother, artist Nellie Randal Stephen, and together they founded Nonconnah Pottery. Inspired by the Arts and Craft Movement, Stephen’s first pottery was made in his twenties. He is credited with being the first to use crystalline glazes in the southeast. Stephen was also known for the crystalline glazes he developed and used. The imagary on his work depicts subject matter drawn from his youth and American folklife: spinning wheels, fiddlers, log cabins, and ox-drawn covered wagons. ![]() Stephen's work is reminiscent of Wedgewood Jasperware. ![]() Walter Stephen is best known for creating cameo ware, a unique line of functional pottery with painted layers of porcelain on stoneware. 1904-1913 Potter Nonconnah Pottery, Memphis Tennesseeġ914 Potter Nonconnah Pottery, Skyland, North Carolina
