This is a very interesting Rookwood 1929 advertisement.  It looks like the style had just turned to soft pastels in turquoise, green, yellow, ivory and rose.

John Wesley Pullman (1886-1931) was born in Philadelphia and studied at the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art. He worked at Rookwood from 1926 until his death in 1931.

This mark is from 1929 with the initials JWP for artist John Wesley Pullman.

Lenore Asbury (American, 1866-1933) was one of Rookwood’s premier artists from 1895 thru the early 1900’s.

This is an example of Rookwood’s Reverse RP Impressed Logo and the Roman Number V for the year of manufacture, 1905. There is also the number 951E for the Shape Number and the letter E for the Size. The letter W incised under this number indicates that the vase is an Iris Glazed Vase. The artist initials “L.A.” stand for Lenore Asbury.

This is an example of the 1882 mark, and artist ARV Albert Robert Valentine’s mark.

This is a Rookwood stamp and mold used for marking the bottoms of vases before firing. From the Albert Valentine estate.

Margaret Helen McDonald (Pullman) worked for Rookwood between 1913 and 1948.  She decorated many lovely vellum vases.   Her mark is “MM”, as shown below:

Sara Sax is among Rookwood’s most famous decorators. Sax worked at Rookwood from 1896 - 1931. She loved Peacocks and peacock feathers, and these are often seen on her pieces. She is known for her French Red vases, but she decorated most of the Rookwood glaze lines.

Sara Sax’s SX mark accompanies Rookwood’s 1899 mark below:
