Highly Collectible. The "Miller" inscription on the bottom of the pottery is a significant maker's mark, pointing towards a specific artisan or pottery family. In American folk art, the "Miller" name is associated with several influential pottery traditions, most notably the Miller family of potters from North Carolina, who were active from the late 19th century into the mid-20th century. Their work is characterized by robust, functional forms and distinctive alkaline glazes, often in shades of brown and green. These pieces are highly valued by collectors for their historical significance and handcrafted quality. The presence of a maker's mark like "Miller" not only authenticates the piece but also provides a direct link to the artist's legacy, enhancing its collectible appeal and market value within the realm of American studio and folk pottery.
