- Texas Stoneware / Pottery <br><p>Benjamin Franklin Kirkland was a member of a pottery-making family who married a daughter of potter John Leopard. Kirkland worked for Leopard in Rusk County, Texas, about 1880 and later probably worked at the Carmichael pottery in Nacogdoches County, Texas.</p><p>The handles on this churn feature prominent impressions at each end, suggesting the impression of the potter’s fingers.</p><p>I am sure there are more out there, but I only know about three. One is unsigned and in the Bayou Bend Museum. One is in a personal collection and signed but you cannot make out the mark.</p><p>This one is signed three times with a stamp. One is very illegible, one you can make out the Texas Star, and one is pretty clear which I have pictured here. If you have one or have more information on any let me know.</p>
