Vase

ca. 1912–15
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774
The Fulper Pottery produced art pottery under the name "Vasekraft" and developed over 100 different glazes. This two-handled vase is decorated with a crystal glaze, which was considered to be one of the most difficult techniques to achieve because of the need to control the kiln in order to create the crystal patterns. This green glaze of multiple crystals marked by dark spots is an example of "Leopard Skin Crystalline." A vase similar to this was given the highest award at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco in 1915. For an example of Fulper's lustre glaze, see 1984.256.
