Know before you buy
This vase features the official Rookwood stamp on the bottom, along with the specific design number 2098. These markings are standard indicators of authentic Rookwood production from that era.
The vase remains in excellent vintage condition. The matte mauve glaze is well-preserved, showing no significant signs of wear or damage that would detract from its historical aesthetic.
The vase measures 3 inches in height with a 4-inch diameter. Given its compact size, it is best suited as a decorative accent piece or for holding a small, delicate floral arrangement.
This refers to the vase's fluid, natural silhouette that avoids rigid geometric lines. It reflects the transition toward the simplified, sculptural forms that became popular in early 20th-century American pottery.
While the matte glaze is durable, it is porous by nature. We recommend using a liner if you intend to hold fresh flowers to prevent water from seeping into the ceramic and potentially marking the finish.
