- Physical Description
- Vessel is a tall vase with a flaring lip and a slight flaring at the base. The overall glaze is a blue matte "vellum" glaze with underglaze decoration depicting a band of white peonies below the lip. The lip itself modulates to a rosy pink color.
- Subject Matter
- Although the Rookwood Pottery won its reputation on its hand-painted pottery, much of its later vessels were production ware to appeal to a broad audience. This work harkens back to the earlier painted wares; this one has the well-known "vellum" glaze that was introduced in the early twentieth century.
