Vintage Rookwood Pottery Box With Lid Wonderful Madonna & Child Design 1929

Description

This auction is for a beautiful vintage arts and crafts Rookwood pottery box with lid with exquisite Madonna and Child design pattern as shown in the pictures taken with and without flash. The color is a wonderful golden yellow with white highlights as shown in the pictures and the finish is matte. It is possibly a cigarette box or a trinket box. The overall condition for its age is nice, with no chips, cracks, hairlines or repairs. Inside the box you can see some lines which are nothing more than rubs or wear. The bottom of the box is signed with the Rookwood RP Flame marking with the Roman numerals XXIX for the year 1929 and the mold number 2456. It would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s fine arts and crafts pottery collection. The box measures about 1 and three-quarter inches tall to top of the lid by slightly over 4 inches long by 2 and three-quarter inches widest. Please review all pictures carefully as they constitute part of the description.
