Item Details
Description
Beautiful Rookwood Black Opal vase with repeating clematis decoration encircling the vase, the work of Harriet Wilcox in 1926. The interior of the vase is lined in Rookwood’s Nubian black glaze which is a nice touch. Marks include the company logo, the date, shape number 2789 and Miss Harriet’s initials in black slip. Height 10 7/8 inches. Uncrazed and very clean. It is interesting to note that most of Wilcox’s Black Opal pieces are brighter and clearer than those of her contemporaries: the whites in this piece are clear and intense. It is just a supposition on our part but it would appear that less of the black tinted glaze may have been used on her pieces. In any event, the results speak for themselves.
