Peters and Reed has had a long standing reputation for their artisanship and as being a cornerstone in art pottery. As such, their pieces have remained highly desirable and collectable. Introduced by Frank Ferrel in 1912, the Moss Aztec line uses rich reddish brown tones with undertones of green patterned after those used by the Aztec Indians. This Moss Aztec Rose jardiniere signed by Mr. Ferrel is a prime example of the line. Beginning at its base, vine stems work their way upward towards the slightly flared lip culminating in clusters of its namesake encompassing the entire perimeter. The high relief of this piece's elements provide life-like depth and visual appeal. It stands 5 1/2" tall, 6 1/2" across the top and 4" wide at the bottom. Produced in the 1920's, this wonderful jardiniere leans heavily towards the Arts and Crafts movement. There are some calcium stains below the inner rim which is synonymous with these pieces given use the porosity of the clay. There is a chip on the outward edge of the bottom rim. Neither issue overtly affects the display of this rich, earthy piece. It would make for a great stand alone decoration or as a cherished addition to your art pottery collection. Thanks for looking!
