Hammat Originals were made by Flora Eckert Hammat in Oklahoma in the mid-forties to the late fifties. During the war, she studied the art at a university in California under the instruction of a famous potter, whose name I forget. She returned to Oklahoma and married, or married and returned to Oklahoma. Her products were categorized as "bio-morphic" indicating she used the forms found in the natural world. Her glazes were practically leak-proof, and highly prized by florists for displays and in flower shows. Her wares were sold at Neiman-Marcus stores, as well as other prominent department stores. Normally, the outside of the piece was left unglazed. I do see a few for sale with glazed outsides, but I have my doubts as to their authenticity. I just don't own one with a glazed exterior, and I have quite a few. She was still alive a few years ago, living with her daughters, as indicated in the latest publication of the book on Frankoma Pottery, as well as other Oklahoma pottery. I believe she was truly a visionary. Her work is timeless, and fits with most decor.

What is value of Hammat Original pottery?
The value is what the buyer is willing to pay, and what the seller is willing to accept, like everything else. The beauty of the pottery is that it was highly prized by florists and garden-club members in the 50s for its near waterproof glaze. They preferred it to showcase their work. The pottery was made in Oklahoma by Flora Eckert Hammat, who was later assisted by her daughters. It is categorized as "biomorphic" pottery, taking its shape from the natural world. It was also highly prized by people who love Frank Lloyd Wright integrity of design. Mr. Hammat assisted in the business for a time, but I believe he pursued a civil-service career until his passing. The glazes came in beautiful shades of turquoise, a soft cocoa, rose-beige, and even white. The outside was not glazed, but left a natural clay color. Hammat Pottery also made pieces for groups like the Shriners. Flora Eckert studied with a famous potter in California at a university - the names of both elude me at the moment. The work is showcased in a recent book on Frankoma and other Oklahoma-made pottery companies. I hope this has helped you. I have paid as much as $70 for a large piece within the last two years, but it is worth more than that to me. If you try to buy it online right now, you will see that it is practically unavailable. My last information was that Flora was still alive and living with her daughters.
