Vase with tulips
Mary Chase Perry is best known for her highly unusual and lustrous glazes on the work that she produced at her Pewabic Pottery. Early in her career, however, and highly influenced by the Grueby Pottery in Boston, she produced a series of vases with matte green glazes. Here, she has produced an organic design of tulips, achieved by cutting out the forms from thick rolled slabs of clay, and then applying them and further modeling them on the vase itself.
