- Lot Description
Rookwood Pottery Vase by William Purcell McDonald (1864-1931) ca. 1900. Signed and numbered on base. A striking ceramic vase of a classic form decorated with elegant lilies in relief, embellished with lustrous golden yellow, amber, olive green, and chocolate brown hues on the exterior walls with a yellow and green interior - all under an Iris glaze. The vessel is marked with the Rookwood logo (a back-to-back "R" and "P" surrounded by flames) on the base, identifying shape number "568 B", and a "WMcD" (William McDonald) artist's mark. The incised "W" indicates that the design is under an Iris glaze - a clear high glaze that gives a photorealist effect. A stunning Iris glazed ceramic vase by Rookwood artist William McDonald with a decorative theme that reflects the zeitgeist for organic motifs during the Arts and Crafts Movement! Size: 4.7" W x 9.125" H (11.9 cm x 23.2 cm)
The Rookwood Pottery Company was founded in 1880 by the artist Maria Longworth-Nichols who created a world-renowned ceramic studio in Cincinnati, Ohio that attracted many reputable artists and ceramicists.

In 1904, McDonald was promoted to be head of the architectural department; however, he continuted to create pottery for Rookwood until his death in 1931.
