we have the second of two Robertson vases from my collection.

This nice little vase has been molded and bears a bold, Dedham-style crackle glaze. The glaze shades from pink at the top, to a whitish-pink on the body and back to pink at the base. The vase stands 4 3/8" tall.

The overall condition of this strong little vase is good. As stated, the crackle glaze is very bold and a few of the glaze lines run top to bottom. These are in the glaze only. T is one pinpoint glaze pop on the side; a glaze blemish at top rim and some darkening of the glaze on the side of the vase. The vase is dirty inside and has some mineral deposits from use. Please see photos as part of description.

This great little Robertson Vase is signed on the base with the impressed initials F.H.R., for Fred H. Robertson.

I've had a few inquiries on whether the crackle is just in the glaze, so goes:
I've examined the vase carefully inside and out with both a 10x magnifier and a penlight. I find no evidence
of any damage to the body of the vase. The crackle ends w the glaze ends.
Due to the size and shape of the vase, it neither rings nor thuds when tapped.
This just happens to be a really wonderful, pronounced crackle glaze from the guys who knew how to do one right!
