Item # 180
1880s Rookwood Dull Glaze Pottery Handled Pitcher Ewer
Approx 14"×8", Not marked w/ Rookwood's mark, but form is classical 1880s student workshop day #101 shape., initials over "S" slash with same M embossed (matte?) as other pieces of the time. Decoration is mix of fine details and rough work, some glaze separations near handle and within flower enameling...perhaps a handle repair in studio? The handle is attached further in than usual...beautiful raised floral on body of vessel. Artists initials are not listed, but perhaps belong to Rookwood's manager Joseph Bailey
