About the Item

This piece is an American Rookwood Pottery "Vellum" series ceramic vase by Lenore Asbury, circa 1925. A monumental landscape vase by Fred Rothenbusch for Rookwood depicting a series of trees set against a late afternoon sky, just beginning to show the colors of sunset. The landscape recedes in the distance to a series of low-lying purple hills. Rothenbusch was known for his work depicting hazy landscapes in the Vellum glaze; a nephew of Albert Valentien, one of Rookwood’s most prolific artists, he was employed by the firm for over thirty years from 1896 to 1931. Rookwood Pottery, founded in Cincinnati, Ohio by Maria Longworth Nichols in 1880, gained international recognition early in its history and is still widely considered America’s finest art pottery. The firm enjoyed widespread success almost from its inception, winning a gold medal at the 1889 Paris World's Fair and participating in numerous World’s Fairs where pieces were sold to major museums both at home and abroad. In 1904 Rookwood introduced the Scenic Vellum glaze, a hybrid between the transparent gloss glaze and a matte finish, a finish which won the firm yet another grand prize at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. The nature of the glaze lent itself to scenes that reflected the American Tonalist movement: quiet landscapes marked by hazy atmospheres, a stream or pond bordered by trees, and scenes depicting shifting quality of light.
