Newcomb College High Glaze Iris Vase, 1908 by Maria de Hoa Leblanc, of tapered form, the underside with the Newcomb cypher, the artist's initials, and AP64, H.- 9 1/8 in., Dia.- 5 1/4 in.

Condition consistent with age and use. What was originally thought to be a chip in the glaze on the top rim border was surface dirt and has been 99% removed. Minor firing flaw on iris to the right of this area. The interior base shows a layer of dirt and would benefit from cleaning. Craquelure to interior glaze throughout and some craquelure to glaze on exterior. Bottom shows craquelure under glaze. Minor firing flaws felt along iris stems. Tiny brown spots visible in various areas of vase which are part of firing flaws. The bottom rim has surface residue from kiln typical of firing. Minor surface dirt specs on bottom. Very handsome and well executed example of Newcomb pottery. _________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
