Antique Rookwood Pottery Matte Blue Buttress Bowl Shape 1265

This 1917 Rookwood Pottery bowl represents the height of the American Arts and Crafts movement and the enduring legacy of the Cincinnati kilns. The base bears the undisputed 14-flame reverse RP mark alongside the roman numeral XVII, establishing precise provenance to 1917. A classic example of shape number 1265, the vessel is anchored by four distinct buttress feet and carries a repeating molded motif along the upper rim. Enveloped entirely in a distinguished matte blue glaze, this piece serves as a highly collectible and historically significant example of early 20th-century American art pottery.
