Planter, 1912-1920
Add to SetSummary
Peters and Reed pottery from Zanesville, Ohio, was known for their unique glazes and glaze treatments. This piece, from their Moss Aztec line, was made by spraying the molded designs in relief with green coloring, then wiping the top of the piece to create a "moss" effect. The natural coloring would have fit perfectly in a typical Arts and Crafts home.
