Description
Attributed to Martin Rettig (1869-1956) for Rettig-Valentien
earthenware canteen vase done in Cincinnati Limoges style with decoration consisting of daisies and a small yellow butterfly
Cincinnati, Ohio, 1880
high glazed ceramic
incised "R-V 1880" on bottom, painted artist's initials and date in slip on side
7 1/8"w x 2 1/16"d x 8 1/4"h
Catalog Note:
T.J. Wheatley had been the chief decorator and teacher of the Cincinnati Limoges style at Coultry Pottery until starting his own firm in 1880. John Rettig and Albert Valentien then began to teach underglaze decoration using Coultry's facilities after Wheatley's departure. This vase appears to be signed by John's brother Martin, who went on to work at Rookwood along with Valentien.
