Rookwood C Schmidt Venetian,12 1/8", 1924, drille

Carl Schmidt 12 1/8 inch Vellum Glaze harbor scene painted in 1924. The vase is beautifully detailed: the individual sailors are very visible and the diaphamous clouds are particularly well done. The coloration is also spectacular, displaying lush blues and pinks. Marks include the Rookwood logo, the date, the partially obscured shape 2040C, an incised V for Vellum Glaze and the decorator's monogram. There is a very neat drill hole to the bottom of the vase. There are a couple of tiny glaze pits but the vase is uncrazed and very clean.
