Known for its exquisite Art Pottery glazes and innovative designs, The Rookwood Pottery Company created iconic pieces like their Vases and established a legacy of American craftsmanship—discover the beauty they brought to life.
The Frick Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, United States of America)
Experience the grandeur of The Frick Pittsburgh through its iconic collection of masterpieces like Millet’s The Gleaner within the opulent Gilded Age mansion Clayton and discover a legacy of art and industry worth exploring.
This exquisite vase decorated with graceful poppies was made by the Rookwood Pottery Company. Founded by Maria Longworth Nichols in Cincinnati, Rookwood employed academy-trained artists and potters to produce hand-thrown, hand-painted earthenware. Rookwood’s wares typically show a strong Japanese influence with an earthy palette of browns, oranges, and greens, as shown here. Floral and other natural motifs were popular with collectors. It is not known where or when the Fricks acquired the vase, which is one of four Rookwood pieces in Clayton.
