Rookwood Artist Signature “SEC” Sallie E. Coyne
Sallie E. Coyne (Sallie (Sara Elizabeth) Coyne) was an artist at Rookwood in the early 1900’s. She created many lovely Vellum vases. This Rookwood Velum vase is signed “SEC” - this is Sallie E. Coyne’s signature. The vase is marked with the Rookwood logo, date 1920, shape number 2033E, and V for Vellum glaze. It also has the incised monogram of the artist “SEC” Sallie E. Coyne.

I have a vase with Rookwood marking, but the SEC is printed not pressed. The other markings are XXVIII and 904 E.
Could this be a reproduction?

It sounds right. The best way to tell is the quality. Reproductions look messy. Rookwood vases have high quality molds, and the glaze is clean. When Rookwood pieces didn’t meet the high quality standards, the were marked with an “X”.
