About the Item

One of the rarest and must unusual pieces ever created by the famed Rookwood Pottery Company in Cincinnati, this sculpture of a satyr bearing the weight of a basket of grapes was created in 1915. Gorgeously glazed in a gold hue with a greenish cast, the sculpture is highly three-dimensional, and raking light creates wonderful shadows and contrasts. This piece served originally as a large wall pocket; the interior is glazed in a creamy hue. Rookwood was, arguably, the most important and prolific fine art pottery in the nation, from the Arts & Crafts period through the Art Deco area, and this example gives evidence of the fine eye for detail that was characteristic of their output.
