Sign In to see what this sold for

Rare and important Rookwood Black Iris vase with striking daisy decoration done by Kataro Shirayamadani in 1903. Orange flowers and green stems encircle the vase which has a true black ground covered with clear high glaze. Marks include the Rookwood logo and date, shape number 917 A, an incised W for white (Iris) glaze and the incised cypher of the artist. Height 11 3/8 inches. Uncrazed. Not the largest Black Iris vase we have sold but certainly one of the most striking.
