Vase
Gates Potteries was a subsidiary of the American Terra Cotta and Ceramic Company which was founded by William Day Gates (1852–1935) in the 1880s on his property in Terra Cotta, Illinois. Gates expanded into art pottery by 1890 and called his objects "Teco." This vase, designed by N. Forester, was illustrated in the 1904 Teco Art Pottery catalogue and listed for $6.00. It is decorated in the firm’s characteristic green mat glaze.
