Ben Owen III Pottery

Celebrated North Carolina Potter
Ben Owen III, from Seagove, NC

His forefathers came to NC from England as early as the late 1700s to ply their craft and furnish storage jars and other utilitarian wares to early settlers. Like his grandfather, Ben III’s pottery reflects a foundation in traditional designs alongside Asian influences.
