An original, signed, "standard glaze" Sallie Coyne piece now belongs to my collection. This one dates from 1895- there are 9 flames from the RP logo stamped on the base, (1886+9=1895.) These bowls were a standard shape, but each was indiviually hand painted by different Rookwood artists- no two are alike and each is a different plant/flower. This one looks like a sprig of dogwood, or apple blossom. Also this is an early shape because it is clearly marked with the letter "C" after the shape number, 214- and "C" denotes a new shape. Also this is Sarah "Sallie" Elizabeth Coyne's original signature (S E C ) before her fancier later one.
