Zanesville Stoneage Modern ... in pink?

Submitted by scottlindberg on Wed, 05/28/2008 - 6:34pm.

I've been collecting Zanesville Stoneage Modern for a few years, thanks to a recommendation from Craig McCormick in response to a question I had about affordable modern planters. The line's color palette is one thing that continually surprises me, though. Today when surfing eBay, I came across this planter in pink. While a relatively common shape, I've never seen this glaze before ... and while I've been aware of the existence of an orange treatment, I hadn't heard of pink before today. So far, I have seen or own examples in the following colors:

White (opaque)
White (foamy, milky & semi-transparent)
"Quince" - a tan or buff color
"Sandstone" - a foamy Green/Blue/Grey
"Golden Poppy" - a matte burnt orange that Zanesville marketing materials call a "silicone-based finish"
"Saxony Blue"
"Cannon Black"
Pink (as of today)

How about you? Any other colors we can add to the list?

ZSC Stoneage Modern colors

Submitted by mccormickstudio on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 5:12pm.

I have seen the pink. I've also seen gloss dark brown, golden yellow matte and pale blue gray. I think the pink was a later color.

Looking on ebay under the search "zsc" I see also cobalt blue.

I think it might be interesting to catalog all of the shapes. I've kept most of my big shapes, but sold many of the cylinders that I once owned.

Shape Catalog

I agree that putting together a catalog of all the Stoneage Modern shapes would be a interesting, albeit exhausting, project. With so many shapes, and each shape being available in so many sizes, the list would be enormous. I nominate you to tackle it, Craig!

Another color

Just yesterday I picked up a Stoneage Modern pot in a color I haven't seen before: a very glossy darkish terracotta. Not orange, not brown, not red, but somewhere in between. It's nice!

Another Color?

I just picked a new one up this afternoon:

It's difficult to describe and photograph the color accurately, but the best I can come up with is it's a dingy greenish yellow: somewhere between mustard and chartreuse.
