American Art Pottery

Adelaide Robineau was an American ceramicist popular in the early 20th century. Robineau initially learned her craft from the American Impressionist artist William Merritt Chase. She learned to make high fire porcelain after spending just a few weeks in pottery school and reading various Sévres porcelain articles. The upcoming auction, presented by Rago, features a centerpiece by Robineau. The 1926 work is coated in her self-developed glaze and decorated with hand-carved frogs. 

Also showcased is a Teco pottery vase designed by ceramist Fritz Albert. The Teco Green glaze on the vase provides a smooth matte finish. Its organic design was influenced by architects of the Prairie School movement, including George Grant Elmslie, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Louis Sullivan. This American Art Pottery Auction also offers pre-war ceramics by artists such as George E. Ohr, Taxile Doat, and Arthur Baggs.
