NOTES
The matte-textured green glaze, limited tonal range, and conventionalized floral design on this vase epitomize the Arts and Crafts aesthetic of simplicity in form, color, and decoration. Frederick Walrath worked alone to form, decorate, and fire his own wares using the facilities of the Mechanics Institute in Rochester, New York, where he taught ceramics.
