- Lot Description
Rookwood Pottery Vase by Olga Reed (American, 1873-1955) dated 1903. Signed, numbered, and dated on base. A gorgeous ceramic vase of a classic form decorated with a floral relief motif on the exterior walls - embellished with lustrous golden yellow, seafoam green, and forest green hues and a white interior, all under Rookwood's rare Iris glaze. The vessel is marked on the base with the Rookwood logo (a back-to-back "R" and "P" surrounded by flames), "III" to indicate the date 1903, identifying shape number "938 C", and a "OGR" (Olga Geneva Reed) artist's mark. The incised "W" indicates that the design is under an Iris glaze - a clear high glaze that gives a photorealist effect. Also on the underside is a label that reads "Very Rare 1903 Iris Glaze". Size: 4.875" W x 7.625" H (12.4 cm x 19.4 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. Olga Geneva Reed attended the Cincinnati Art Academy and decorated Rookwood Pottery from 1890 until 1909. Interestingly, she married another Rookwood artist, Matthew Daly, after her first husband passed away.
An Olga Geneva Reed iris glaze vase with lotuses sold for $7200 (David Rago - January 18, 2020 - lot 60).
Provenance: ex-Nancy and Dr. E.F. Simpson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired from 1970 to 2000
