Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Vase ca. 1896-1908 Dedham Pottery Steeped in ceramics from birth, Hugh C. Robertson pursued his craft with fierce devotion and a passion for experimentation. From a family of trained English ceramists, he honed his skills in New Jersey before settling in Massachusetts as one of the founders of Chelsea Keramic Art Works and later, Dedham Pottery. Robertsons lifelong explorations in glazes, particularly their color and texture, make him one of the key figures of American art pottery at the turn of the twentieth century.From Chelsea to Dedham, Robertson continued to pursue his passion for innovation, employing the grayish-white stoneware used for Dedhams dinnerware to throw simple forms covered with bold combinations of colored and textured glazes. Dedham Potterys vases are larger, thicker, and heavier than their Chelsea predecessors, and simple, solid forms predominate. On this example, Robertson applied several glazes of different colors.

Ceramics glazed in green, blue-green, and yellow were produced in Mesopotamia and southwest Iran during the Sasanian period. The dating of Sasanian pottery is complicated due to the lack of examples from controlled excavations at Sasanian sites, however, in contrast to ceramics produced during the Islamic period, glazes cover Sasanian vessels uniformly and additional designs are not defined through the use of differently colored glazes..

This drinking cup depicts Heraklesís fight with the Cretan Bull, represented twice in the continuous frieze around the vase; there is a long dotted vine or ivy branch above.
