Vintage John Glick signed octagonal covered jars with Plum Tree Pottery stamp on the bottom of each jar. Complete set. The jars themselves have no damage but the lids have damage (see photos). I corresponded with the late Mr. Glick in 2014 and he confirmed via email that he created these pieces between 1969-1971. Jar sizes are 11 inches, 9 inches, and 7 inches with the lids on. Beautiful mites color palette including light grey, blue, brown and burnt orange.
We purchased it at an estate sale in Michigan in 2014. The previous owner indicated they had owned them for decades but couldn’t remember when they were acquired. They have never been exhibited as far as I know.
