Rookwood Pottery Vase by Edward George Diers (American, 1870-1947) dated 1902. Signed and numbered on base.

This lustrous vessel is marked on the base with the Rookwood logo (a back-to-back "R" and "P" surrounded by flames), identifying shape number "927F", "II" to indicate date 1902, and an "ED" (Edward Diers) artist's mark. A stunning ceramic vase by Rookwood artist Edward Diers that reflects the zeitgeist for organic motifs during the Arts and Crafts Movement! Size: 4.125" in diameter x 5.5" H (10.5 cm x 14 cm)

Edward George Diers was trained at the Ohio Mechanics Institute, the Industrial Art School, and the Cincinnati Art Academy. Diers worked at Rookwood from 1896 until 1931.
