antique Rookwood vase, ewer, sara sax,
This is an outstanding antique Rookwood art pottery ewer vase with hand painted floral artwork by the artist Sara Sax. Produced in 1899, fully marked, along with Sara Sax's impressed initial signature. "#611" and size mark "D". It also has its original store label from Burley & Company of Chicago where the vase was originally purchased. Vase is done in the 'standard' high 'mirror' gloss glaze with beautiful yellow and orange flowers, green and yellow leaves and stems. It is 8-3/4" tall overall. It is in very nice condition with no chips, chiggers, cracks or repairs. There is fine crazing as expected. The glaze is still in remarkable condition considering its age although close inspection and in just the right lighting one can see some lite spotting on the lighter glazed bottom areas. This is common for pieces from this period.  Due to the mirrored glaze the pictures show some lighting reflections.

                          vase,
RARE Pair Taisho Period MORIAGE 10" Vases HP Transfer BETSY ROSS Flag WASHINGTON. This is a unique, hard to find set of matching vases from an orientalist collector's estate. Gorgeous moriage work over a bright green background. Two sided (front and back) oval reserves. With the one reserve featuring a hand painted lakeside scene at sunset with a swimming swan. The reverse's has a unique seldom seen transfer in the reserve of a colonial home setting with Betsy Ross working on the American Flag and George Washington looking on. To find one piece featuring moriage work from this era with a US patriotic theme is hard to do, to find two is extremely rare! Each is marked under glaze on the base in red with the circular "Hand Paint, Made in Japan" around double diamonds with "TT" in center, (Takito). Produced around the Taisho to early Showa period. Takito was known more for its lusterware with the moriage additions then works like these. Made especially for the export market. Each is 10" in height. They are in very nice condition overall. No chips, cracks, or repairs. There is lite crazing from age. The applied moriage is intact. The work is amazing. There is lite wear to the transfers of the colonial scene's. Not real notable, but close inspection does show some rubs, and one having a lite scratch line on the side. The hand painted scenes look beautiful. There is a small glaze skip of the green on one. A small circular shadow ring on the side in the green. These are minor manufacturing issues that is to be expected in this type of wares. They were pretty dingy/dusty inside, I've gently rinsed them out but they could use a more thorough cleaning since the white high glaze is not as bright. These would be a wonderful addition to any collection.

CHINESE BLUE FLUPER STYLE FLAMBE VASE!
This vase is simular to the Brush McCoy Onyx glaze vase above. But I don't believe it was made by the Brush company because it is different in several ways The glaze is more of a flambe being heavier then the onyx.  The bottom of the vase is covered in the black glaze, rather heavily.  The rim is thin unlike the flat lip that the Brush pieces have. The glaze drips into the interior, and it has a wider mouth then any of the Brush vases in their onyx line too. There is no markings that I can see. Fulper? It is in very nice condition. No chips, cracks or repairs. There is a small glaze flake on the rim. Normal age crazing to the glaze. 6-1/2" tall and 3" opening.
