Zanesville Pottery, Arts & Crafts Tobacco Leaf Vase, Deep Matte Green, Nice

  
The vase is done in the very desirable deep matte green glaze and the shape is what we call a shoulder shaped vase. The vase is rather large as it stands 8 3/16" tall and is 5 3/4" in diameter at the shoulder. The bottom has a diameter of 3 1/8. The vase depicts a large Tobacco leaf on the front side and a smooth back side.

The deep matte green glaze is very desirable in the Arts and Crafts decorating scheme. This matte green has a glaze similar to Weller's Bedford Matt and somewhat similar to Hampshire Pottery's cucumber matte green glaze.

The glaze is deep green and thick at the shoulder. It thins out a little towards the bottom edge. There is char coaling throughout. The vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings.

Typically these vases have good size glaze pops and glaze misses this one does not. It has a stilt pull on the bottom edge where the glaze meets the bottom and this is shown and considered quite minor. These are common traits with most Zanesville Pottery pieces. The vase is unsigned but has a number "102" impressed into the underside bottom.

This is as good as a signature. This is known as shape number 102 in the Zanesville Pottery Catalog. This is a wonderful form and would look just fine in any early matte green art pottery collection. I'm sure it would look just fine on that Stickley bookcase.
