Early Newcomb College Art Pottery High-Glaze Vase, 1901, of cylindrical form, decorated by Ada Wilt Lonnegan, with calla lily buds and blue and green underglaze, the base marked with Newcomb cipher, Joseph Meyer potter's mark, decorator's reg. no. E92, followed by a house-shaped character with a no. 1 inside and an "x", h. 9-1/8", dia. 3-5/8". Provenance: Exhibited at and loaned to the Louisiana State University Museum of Art, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The house character was used prior to official registration numbers, and the "x" denotes that the piece was not for sale, reserved instead for the decorator or the college.

In overall good condition. No visible losses or repairs. There are three hairline cracks to the inside of the vase that extend downward from the interior side of the rim - two are visible on the exterior; the third is not. There is also crazing to the glaze throughout. Vase is structurally sound with excellent retention of color and high glaze. Condition is as to be expected with age and use.
