A petite American art-pottery vase with soft color and streamlined handles. It’s the kind of piece that slips onto a shelf and quietly steals the scene.
Why Collectors Like This One
Small footprint, classic Rosella floral, and an easy-to-style ivory ground. The R-1-5 mark confirms the form, while the soft peach blossoms add color without shouting. It’s giftable and right at home on a nightstand, mantel, or bookcase.
