ROBLIN GREEN-TEA GLAZE LOW BOWL, PRE-1906




Roblin Art Pottery was started in 1898 by Alexander H Robertson & Linna Irelan. They made hand thrown pieces of red, buff and white clay. Robertson developed the glazes and Irelan did the modeling. The company was destroyed during the SF earthquake (and fire) of 1906. Due to the extreme scarcity of these pieces, condition is not really a factor. This bowl is in mint condition with only some minor glaze loss around the lip.
