Vase with poppies
Rookwood introduced its new matte glazed line at the Pan American exposition in Buffalo in 1901. Bearing an original paper label that the pottery had printed for their exhibition pieces, this vase was included in that debut in Buffalo. Decorated by one of the firm’s most noted artists, Sara Sax, this painterly vase depicts pink peonies in an almost impressionistic rendition, given an additional softness by the new matte glaze.
