COLLECTION SPOTLIGHT Vase 1976.1.410 Circa 1925-1926 This piece has been part of the museum’s collection since it was founded in 1978. This line of vases was produced by the Cowan Pottery Studio during the mid-1920s. This design (652-A) is a wonderful example of the studio’s ability to take classic design and modernize it. In a 1926 advertisement it was listed for $2, equivalent to just under $30 today. Want To Know What's Happening At RRPL? Don't Miss Out!
