Description: THIS VERY EARLY FRANKOMA POTTERY VASE WITH A GREEN RUTILE GLAZE IS IN TAN, ADA CLAY AND WAS MADE BEFORE 1954. THE VASE IS DECORATED IN SGRAFFITO DESIGN REMINISCENT OF EARLY PRAIRIE GRASSES IN THE WIND. ITS EARLY MARK IS "FRANKOMA" IN SMALL BLOCK LETTERS. THE MARK IS NOT VER DEEPLY STRUCK. THIS IS AN EARLY PIECE AND LACKS ANY MODEL NUMBER OR ANY OTHER ADDED MARK. THERE EVEN IS NO PENCILLED-IN PRICE ON THE BOTTOM AS WAS ALWAYS THE PRACTICE WHEN I WAS A BOY. THE CONDITION IS VERY GOOD. NO CHIPS, NO FRACTURES, NO SCUFFS, AND NO CRAZING (NOT EVEN IN THE BOTTOM AS BEST I CAN SEE). THE VARIATION IN COLORS ON THE BASE GIVES A 3D EFFECT AS IF THERE IS A FLAKE . THIS IS AN ILLUSION; THERE IS NO FLAKING. THE SHAPE IS A CYLINDER 2 ⅝' IN DIAMETER. IT IS 6 ¼" TALL. IF MY TEXT AND PICTURES HAVE NOT ADDRESSED ALL YOUR CONCERNS, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS.
