ROOKWOOD PRE-PRODUCTION SEA-GREEN VASE 1911

This 1911 Rookwood vase dates from the "pre-production" period before 1914. After 1914, when Joseph H. Gest became president of Rookwood Pottery, Rookwood began producing "multiples" of all pieces and patterns (except signed pieces). This lovely geometric, insized pattern was never repeated on another piece and is orignal only to this "hand-thrown" (not from a mold) vase. Looking good, you gorgeous 96 year old!
