About the Item

Antique 1923 Rookwood Pottery flower vase designed by Vera Tischler. shape number 2015 - slightly tapered, footed rectangular form with art nouveau decoration, consisting of a stalk of red and yellow flowers on a swirled two-tone blue background under a matte "vellum" glaze. Incised and initialed on base. "Vera Tischler was born on January 22, 1900 in Cincinnati, Ohio. She attended the Cincinnati Art Academy and began decorating at Rookwood Pottery in 1920. She remained there until 1929, executing mainly floral designs in Vellum Glaze." Her work and unique styles remain very popular and collectable. "Maria Longworth Nichols Storer, daughter of wealthy Joseph Longworth, founded Rookwood Pottery in 1880 after being inspired by what she saw at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, including Japanese and French ceramics. The first Rookwood Pottery was located in a renovated school house on Eastern Avenue which had been purchased by Maria's father at a sheriff's sale in March 1880. Storer named it Rookwood, after her father's country estate near the city in Walnut Hills. The first ware came from the kiln on Thanksgiving Day of that year. Rookwood was noted for its employment of women. The earliest work from the pottery is relief-worked on colored clay, in red, pinks, greys and sage greens. Some were gilt, or had stamped patterns, and some were carved. Often these were painted or otherwise decorated by the purchaser of the "greenware" (unfinished piece), a precursor to today's do-it-yourself movement. Rookwood also produced pottery in the Japonisme trend, after Storer invited Japanese artist Kitaro Shirayamadani to come to Cincinnati in 1887 to work for the company. In 1902, Rookwood began producing architectural pottery. Under the direction of William Watts Taylor, this division rapidly gained national and international acclaim. The 1920s were highly prosperous years for Rookwood but the company was hit hard by the Great Depression. Art pottery became a low priority, and architects could no longer afford Rookwood tiles and mantels. On April 17, 1941, Rookwood filed for bankruptcy. Through these tough times, ownership of the company changed hands, but the Rookwood artists remained. In 1959, Rookwood was purchased by the Herschede Clock Company, and production moved to Starkville, Mississippi. Unable to recover from the losses experienced during the Great Depression, production ceased in 1967. By 1982, Rookwood was in negotiations to be sold to overseas manufacturers. Michigan dentist and art pottery collector Arthur Townley used his life savings to purchase all of the remaining Rookwood assets. Townley refused offers to sell Rookwood for over two decades, but eventually collaborated with Cincinnati investors Christopher Patrick Rose in 2004 to move the company back to Cincinnati. In 2011, Martin and Marilyn Wade gained sole ownership of the company. It operates from a production studio in the historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati. The company is in full production, having invested in new kilns and equipment and hired new staff. Rookwood Pottery also works with many major institutions to create awards and commemorative pieces."
