This is a 7 1/2" by 4 1/2"Rookwood Pottery Vase that I recently purchased at a small town auction for $120.00. The vase is a basic utilitarian piece in dusty rose dull matte. It is signed with the early Rookwood mark as well as the roman numerals dating it to 1930. It also has another interesting stamp that I believe might be the maker's mark. The vase is in very fine condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. It does have small black "smudge" lines, in various places that, unfortunately, do not show up in the photos.
