Arequipa Pottery in Marin County, CA was open between 1912-1918. This piece dates from the post-Fredrick Rhead period, the second production period under the direction of Alfred Salon, c. 1915. The vase is hand-thrown and the floral decoration is hand-carved on the piece. The glaze is a wonderful speckled, egg-shell brown and tan. On the bottom you can see that the material the vase is made from is a marvelous local, red, California clay. The bottom is impressed Arequipa California, the Arequipa oak tree and vase logo, #635, 16, and the artist's initials GL.
