Artifact Overview
A new kiln in the "Revelation" line, produced by Horace J. Caulkins' Detroit-based company, allowed ceramicists to create pottery with underglaze decoration in their own studios. Beginning in 1901, artist Mary Chase Perry, who had helped develop the kiln, made this vase to demonstrate its potential. Perry and Caulkins would go on to form Detroit's renowned Pewabic Pottery.
