Antique Rookwood and Gorham Silver Overlay Ceramic Vase (Late 19th to Early 20th Century)
This exquisite antique Rookwood vase, believed to be pre-1900, is a unique collaboration between Rookwood Pottery and Gorham Silver. It features a high-glaze brown ceramic base, beautifully adorned with hand-painted lilies, and a remarkable 0.999 fine silver overlay by Gorham, covering half of the vase in an elegant scroll design with an engraved monogram. The piece is marked with the Rookwood impressed stamp, shape number R2590, and the Gorham hallmark, "999/1000 FINE."
This collectible vase measures 8.25 inches in height and 4.5 inches in width, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and artistic value of both historic American makers. The lack of Roman numerals, as well as historical information on dating, suggests it is a pre-1900 piece. Minor age-related wear and slight discoloration of the silver overlay add to its antique charm.
