Great Rookwood Production Piece
This vase is often seen. It is #2591 dated 1922. But this is about as crisp as they come. Great detail and color. Love the blue crystaline glaze.

Rookwood Arts & Crafts - #2891 dated 1927
I really like the over glaze and under glaze combination on this one. I have seen this vase a few times online and it never has the detail that this one does. It is about 10" high.
Zuid Holland Art Nouveau Vase - Circa 1904 - 18" Tall
Wow. I could not believe my luck when I purchased this on eBay as a buy now only seconds after it was listed. I usually just look for American Art Pottery but I was pretty lucky to end up with this piece. It is in perfect condition. The Art Nouveau flowing lines are fantastic and so is the color.

Roseville Green Baneda
One of my favorite middle period Roseville lines. Green Baneda. The colors are fantastic. The dripping glazes pooled at the bottom of the vase. Love the look!
Rookwood Art Deco Pot 6113 - Great Pattern!
I love the design of this 1920's Rookwood Production piece. The color and mold are great. I don't see this shape very often.

Cambridge Art Pottery Matte Green Pitcher circa 1906
Here is a unique piece. I purchased it on eBay. When it arrived I realized that the Weller sticker is fake. This mark was die impressed and not a sticker. After a few days of research I identified the piece of Matte Green by Cambridge Art Pottery -- it was only made for approximately 6 years (approximately 1902 to 1908). The slash shaped kiln marks are unique to Cambridge. I am tempted to soak off the fake sticker but I think I will leave it there as part of history.
