Arequipa Pottery was open only 7 years, 1911-1918. The first three years were under the tutelage of the famous potter, Fredrick Rhead. This glaze has the dripping, cratered finish which identifies it as being from the Rhead-Era, not the Albert Solon middle period. This is a wonderful hand-thrown, hand-decorated bowl with a grey-blue glaze. Look how amazing the red California clay is in the photo of the Arequipa stamp on the bowl's bottom. Arequipa pottery, like Grueby, is all unique-ware, that is, each piece is one of the kind. This fabulous bowl embodies all the aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts movement: simplicity, beauty, and functionality.
