Offered for sale is a rare antique American art pottery vase from the short-lived Keramos line produced by the Owen China Company (Minerva, Ohio) circa 1906–1908. This piece features a striking two-tier silhouette with a bulbous lower base and a tapering upper cylinder, decorated with an incised and hand-painted botanical floral motif in warm bronze, gold, and earthy tones.
Condition Report:
Overall: The vase displays the classic character of early 20th-century art pottery.
Wear: There is normal age-appropriate wear and rubbing to the metallic/bronze glaze finish, consistent with a piece of this era, but the hand-painted design remains bold and vibrant.
Features the raised Owen China Keramos maker's mark on the base (incorporating the traditional pre-1933 geometric good-luck symbol standard to this historical art pottery line)."
Flaws: There is a small, minor chip on the bottom base/rim. Note: This chip is completely hidden when the piece is standing upright on a table and does not affect display quality.
A wonderful and scarce piece of early American Arts & Crafts pottery for the advanced collector. Please review all photos closely for exact condition details.
