Credit LineGift of the Marvin Felheim CollectionSubject matterRookwood Pottery, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, was the premiere American fine arts pottery from its foundation in 1880 through the 1930's. The early works were hand-painted but in the early twentieth century the pottery introduced its line of production ware, of which this is an example.
Physical DescriptionSlender blue-glazed vase with a streamlined form that tapers to a base narrower than the shoulder of vessel. The work has a modeled and stylized motif of peacock feathers. Overall effect is of simplicity and refinement.
