GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The reticulated form, rich ochre glaze, and deeply sculpted leaves of this vase by one of Boston's leading art pottery makers mark it as an exceptional example of American Arts and Crafts pottery. Designer George Prentiss Kendrick produced a number of works for the Grueby Faience Company at the turn of the century; many, such as this example, were a response to the influence of progressive Art Nouveau pottery of French firms. The acclaim for Grueby's vegetative designs with soft matte glazes and carved suface decoration continued, with the pottery earning awards at several expositions.
