Vase

Manufacturer Rookwood Pottery Company American

Not on view

It was in Cincinnati at the Rookwood Pottery that the drive toward more organic, plant-based forms found fruition. Whether it was a result of the general Zeitgeist of 1900 or more specific influences from Europe, some Rookwood artists gradually freed their designs from the constraints of wheel-based forms and painted decoration. Here, the vase is nearly subsumed by the relief-molded crocus blossoms, stems, and leaves.
