Literature
A "First Stamp" vase from North State Pottery of Sanford, N.C., is a rare and important piece of North Carolina folk art pottery. Dating to 1924–1925, these vases are desirable among collectors for their scarcity and age. North State Pottery was founded in 1924, and the "First Stamp" was used only for a brief period before being replaced by later marks
