Vase

Designed by Frederick Hurten Rhead American, born England
 Manufactured by Rhead Pottery American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 744

Recalling the California countryside, this vase with a stylized landscape of cypress trees is one of only a handful of known examples made by Rhead at his short-lived pottery operation in Santa Barbara, California. It exemplifies the soft, organic compositions he employed during this period, which stand in contrast to the more structured, conventionalized designs typical of other Arts and Crafts potteries.
