Certified Roseville Pottery 1905 Rozane Egypto Tankard

Egypto is a line of art pottery produced in 1905-1907 by the Roseville Pottery Company in Zanesville, Ohio. All Egypto is marked with the Rozane/Egypto wafer on the base. For decades collectors have believed that dozens of additional pieces were "unmarked Egypto", however, research has determined that these pieces are actually either the early "Mat Green" or later "Matt Green". The glaze used on Egypto was no different from the original matt green, which could be smooth or variegated depending on the application. The designs were not really classic Egyptian in form, but some clearly had Persian influences.

This a wonderful example of a 10 1/2 inch tall Rozane Egypto Tankard. This piece has a good crisp mold with outstanding color. Wonderful piece from the Rozane Egypto line. Perfect addition to any collection. This piece does have base damage that cannot be seen when displaying the piece. Includes the pictured Certificate of Authenticity.

Outstanding piece in that it has no crazing, no repairs, and no cracks. Roseville Shape #E36
