PLEASE NOTE: Two updated photos have been added. They (photos #1 and 2) show more of the true color of the vase, which is a darker shade than most of the photos show. The original cover photo posted was photo #3, which is a lot lighter than what the vase really is. There is also a purplish/blue hue that shows up when you look at the vase in natural light. This pottery matte (mat) Rookwood vase is in very good condition. The color is hard to describe and it was hard to get the exa...ct shade in the photos. Most of the photos came out lighter and more pink than they actually are. It is a pinkish deep mauve with blue (and a little gray) undertones that get gradually/graduated darker blue as the vase gets farther down to the bottom. There is overall light subtle crazing, which is not a flaw, but was done in the processing of the piece. The inside of the vase and the rimmed/lip are a lighter shade of pink than the body of the vase.
The flowers are a pretty medium sky blue color with pale yellow and dark pink. The leaves are a medium to light shade of green. The floral and leaf patterns are outlined in a darker blue.
This vintage, almost antique vase is stamped as date 1925 (XXV) and was signed "KJ" for artist, Katherine Jones. The numbers "1356D" are also stamped on the bottom.
I did not find any chips, cracks, bubbles or uneven areas.
There is an off whitish scratch or swoosh of about 1/2" (possibly from the factory/firing process? Photo 5). There is also a faint scratch of about 1/2" below the oval flower (photo 6). There are some (4 or 5) scattered teeny, miniscule "specks", also possibly from the manufacturing process. It still makes for a really nice collectible with these minor flaws.
Any other glaring/fading/fading/discolorations/discolored looks are due to the lighting or the flash of my camera.
The vase measures 8 3/4" tall, 3 1/2" wide at the top and 15" around at the bottom.
Comes from a smoke-free home.
The vase will be shipped by Fed Ex/insurance included. Please email me with any questions that you may have. Thank you.
International and combined shipping available.
