Manufacturer: Rookwood Artist: A.R. Valentien Description: Rare and early and experimental Rookwood Mat glaze plaque with two large fish swimming through undulating waters, the work of Albert Valentien in 1901. Another plaque from 1901 by Valentien with only a single fish (same size, color and style) was sold in the Glover Collection auction as lot 435. Marks on the back include the Rookwood logo, the date, experimental shape number X 499 AX and Valentien’s initials in black slip. Size is 10 by 14 1/8 inches. Uncrazed. There is a small 1/4 by 3/8 inch chip on the lower right hand corner that is probably factory and is definitely covered by the frame.
