ABOUT THE COMPANY: Opening its doors in 1880, Cincinnati’s Rookwood Pottery quickly attracted international fame, and today, continues to be the most celebrated and collected American pottery. By the time Rookwood began its merger with Tiffany & Company in 1967, it was too late. Rookwood Pottery could not recover from its Great Depression losses, and closed its kilns the same year. The final photo shows the true color of the vase better than the others.
