We have two books in the bookstore that would help in your research on the Shearwater Pottery.

Dreaming in Clay on the Coast of Mississippi By Christopher Maurer, Maria Estrella Iglesias, 2000
"An intimate family memoir about the power of love in the face of adversity: the passionate pursuit of art-and the brave art of living simply-by four generations of a fiercely independent Southern family."

Shearwater Pottery By Dod Stewart, Marjorie Anderson Ashley, 2005
"Dod Stewart, the author, dedicated several years writing and photographing this book. Marjorie Anderson Ashley, is one of the daughters of Peter Anderson, who founded Shearwater Pottery in 1928. Special sections by Mary Anderson Pickard, Walter Inglis Andersons daughter, about her father and her son Christopher Stebly. History of the Anderson family: genealogy, early contacts with Newcomb College Pottery, George Ohr, & other facts. Sections dedicated to decorators: Mere Anderson, sons Walter Inglis Anderson and James McConnell (Mac) Anderson, brothers of founder Peter Anderson."

The vase is beautiful. I found an online exhibition of the pottery here: The Walter Anderson Museum

Thanks for sharing it with us.
