Here is a piece I have had for some time and I am glad to see that more people are becoming interested in Hartford Faience Co. pieces. This insulator is surely (to Hartford Quality Control people) the worst insulator they ever produced... I still think it is a gem!

The picture does not do the piece justice. The color is much more varigated than the picture seems to show. Not to mention the white spots are unglazed areas! I wonder who was working that day...
