Arden, North Carolina, vitreous semi-porcelain stoneware with applied glazes and slip decoration, the first a round plate with scene of Davy Crocket with a fiddler, light blue green glaze, the verso incised "Pisgah Forest / W. B. S. /[with four count strike]" (6 3/4 in.); a low bowl with green ground decorated with hunting scene of Davy Crockett with two hunting hounds chasing two stags in a continuous landscape vignette, signed "Cameo / Stephen / Long Pine /Arden N.C." to the reverse (2 1/4 x 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 in.); a green ground cylinder vase decorated and titled " Crockett and the Lion-Stephen-1960," unmarked (5 3/4 x 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 in.); and two small cream pitchers in matte light blue with cameo star relief, pink glazed interior, both marked "Cameo / Stephen / Long Pine /Arden N.C." to the underside (2 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 in.).
The "Long Pine" marks refer to the special stamp that Walter used around 1953 denoting they were made in his separate workshop where he concentrated on his slip cameo designs. Apparently Stephen continued to use this date until his death in 1961.
