Rookwood

Large Rookwood Iris glaze vase with white poppy decoration done in 1905 by Carl Schmidt. Three larger-than-life size poppies encircle the vase and are nicely contrasted with the blue -gray ground. Needless to say, the artwork is detailed and precise. Marks include the Rookwood logo, the date, shape number 787 B, an incised W for white (Iris) glaze and the impressed monogram of the artist. Height 14 3/4 inches. Fine overall crazing. There is a 3/4 inch glaze chip off the base and about 1/4 inch of the chip involves the background color. Great composition and color. Another fine example consigned by Schmidt’s granddaughter.
