Fabulous, rare Vintage Metlox Pillovase 961 Robins Egg Blue rectangular Vase, Art Pottery Ceramics from the 1940s, made in Manhattan Beach, CA
Dimensions: W: 4 3/8" x 2.875" x H:6"The feel of this glaze is the most amazing thing: neither matte nor high gloss, it is so pleasing to the touch. Most of the pieces like this that I have seen photographed are high gloss, so this one is unusual.Since monitors differ, I'll try to describe the color. I think robin's egg blue is accurat...e. It is blue, rather than green, but a blue with green underlying the hue. It is not turquoise, but it would certainly go well with decor that incorporates soft blues and aquas and turquoises.There are no cracks on this vase. I have photographed individually the two tiny nicks at the corners of the underside, and also some glaze imperfections. There is a bit of flower residue inside, but I did not want to try to scrub or soak, as I know collectors like to use special things to clean their treasures.This is a really nice example of California art pottery, and it has done so well to make it almost 80 years in such nice condition!I will ship as soon as I receive payment.
