Halloween Mammy
This contemporary Mammy jar was created by Albert and Betty Story of Erwin, Tennessee, students and good friends of the legendary Negatha Peterson. Betty does various designs on her jars and will do custom-designs to order. Their studio name is B & B Pottery and they can be reached via email at alberstor @ charter.net (without spaces).
From Negatha Peterson (Erwin Pottery) Cookie Jars: by Brian Parkinson
Although she no longer produces pottery, Negatha remains active in promoting local potters.
Like her dear friends Albert and Betty Story, whose cookie jars carry their B & B Pottery name on their bases. She has passed along to them her techniques and the patterns of this wonderful and all-American art form that was born in the misty Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee.
Brian says "Betty was a good student and she worked very hard. I have two of her cookie jars and she does beautiful work. She paints them in traditional patterns and even some with the holiday themes, but in her own style."
