Manufacturer: Rookwood Artist: Albert Valentien Description: Rare and important Modeled Mat or carved Painted Mat vase done by Albert Valentien in 1900. Pictured are two brightly colored irises in relief that are both carved and painted by the artist. Marks include the Rookwood logo, the date, shape number 909 C and Valentien’s full signature. Height 8 5/8 inches. Uncrazed. As to what glaze name we should give this vase: I think Modeled Mat would be appropriate but the extraordinary colors used speak to me of Painted Mat. Looking at Burt’s “2,292 Pieces of Early Rookwood Pottery in the Cincinnati Art Museum in 1916,” we see pieces from 1900 listed in both categories including a 909 C form modeled by ARV and done in mat colors. To paraphrase Mr. Shakespeare, “would an orchid by any other name look any nicer
