Samuel Hill started pottery in Flemington, New Jersey in 1815 and he manufactured drain tile. Abraham Fulper became a partner in 1847 and in 1860 he purchased the firm. After 1881, the business was operated as the Fulper Brothers and in 1899 it was operated as, Fulper Pottery Company. Abraham hired high end designers, modelers and chemists such as, Kugler and Stangl, as well he also helped to design and do glaze effects. John Kunsman was hired in 1899 and was the master potter. In 1909 the first art pottery was produced, which at this time, the firm was under William H Fulper II, grandson of Abraham, and at this time, they named the pottery line, Vasekraft and pottery production continued for 20 years.
In 1929, the Fulper Pottery buildings were destroyed in a fire and production was moved to the Trenton plant. At this time a small part of art pottery was produced in Flemington until 1935. Stangl took ownership of the firm in 1930. At this time they produced dinnerware and then in 1955 the name was changed to Stangl Pottery.
The candlesticks are in excellent condition with no chips, hairlines or repairs.
This gorgeous set would be wonderful any Country setting.  great addition for any pottery or Fulper collector.

In regard to furniture and accessories, we sell antique furniture and accessories. As most people know, these pieces become more beautiful with age because of movements and distress in the woods, some having restoration. Spindle turnings will not be uniform and swell unevenly with age. Wood tends to get stress fractures on support systems and where wide board construction is used. 85% of 18th Century veneers have had some restoration during their life. Pine secondary woods might fracture, making overlays and veneers have the same fracture lines. Old finishes might alligator, fade, fisheye or darken, depending on where the pieces were placed. All of these are desired by a true collector and gives it personality. Do not expect these early pieces to be like new. These pieces age gracefully just as we do, giving them unique personality. We do our best to describe and photograph all items thoroughly, but handle a quantity of pieces every day and might miss something. All these antique pieces are sold as is. It is your responsibility to view the photos, review the description, if you wish photos of a specific area on any piece we are happy to promptly submit them to you and ask any questions you may have before bidding. Selling items, untouched, usually directly from estates, we are not experts on clock works or any items with mechanical or moving parts. We know if they tick, run, move and are in tune with the quality of sound, but offer no guarantees on these items.
