Vase

Manufacturer Marblehead Pottery
ca. 1906
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774
This undecorated Marblehead vase may be an example of a work made for glaze testing, as unembellished vessels are quite rare. The matte green glaze with grey flecks shows appears thin in some areas where the dark red clay body shows through.
