Terms of Sale
Our Guarantee: All items in our sale are guaranteed to be as described in our
catalog and to be free of other problems or repairs which are not listed. Crazing is
usually only mentioned if objectionable. Sizes are approximate. (See Peck Book II for
shape number references). We guarantee the authenticity of all lots in this auction.
Please bear in mind that most of the objects in our sales are hand made and often
have small imperfections as part of the creative process. We will mention all of these
that we, as collectors, would find in the least objectionable ourselves.
Any return for refund for damage, repair or authenticity must be in our hands within
30 days after the end of the auction.
Terms of Sale: The buyer is the person making the final and highest bid. In the event
of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall determine who the successful bidder is, or
the auctioneer may resell the lot in dispute, but in all instances the judgment of the
auctioneer shall be final.
Sales Tax: A 6 1/2% Ohio Sales Tax applies to all retail purchases. Ohio Sales Tax
exemption forms must be executed and filed with the auction clerk at the time of
auction registration.
Note: Purchasers of items shipped out of state are subject (where applicable) to
report and pay use tax to the state into which the items are being shipped.
Withdrawal: The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the
time of the sale.
Credit, Methods of Payment: Cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, certified check
and bank letters of credit are acceptable methods of payment. If you are known to
us, your credit, and your credit only, can be established. Please check with the sale
clerk. No company or personal references are accepted. We would appreciate credit
arrangements being made in advance of the auction date. Persons not making prior
credit arrangements can pay by personal check but no merchandise can be removed
until all checks have cleared. Any packing and shipping expenses will be borne by
the purchaser. All items must be paid in full within 72 hours of the end of sale or
the Auctioneer retains the right to resell the property, either at auction or by private
sale. Purchaser will be liable for any deficiencies and all costs incurred, including
collection and legal fees. The auctioneer may require any bidder to pay for his or her
purchases at any time during the auction.
International Payment: Visa, Mastercard and Discover are acceptable. Otherwise
buyers must pay by wire transfer to our bank in Cincinnati. Payment for the net
amount of the purchase including shipping must be in American dollars and buyer is
to pay all wire transfer fees. We do not accept out of country checks.
Bidding: Lots will be sold in the order in which they appear in the catalog. The
normal bidding increments are as follows:
0–$200 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Bids will increase in $10 increments
$200–$500 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Bids will increase in $25 increments
$500–$1,000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Bids will increase in $50 increments

$10,000+ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Bids will increase in $500 increments
The Auctioneer reserves the right to vary the bidding increments.
The final bid is the price at which the lot is knocked down to the buyer. This final bid,
in all cases, is subject to an 18% buyer's premium (23% if bidding via the Internet), the
purchase price being the total of the two sums. You may deduct 3% from the buyers
premium when paying by check or with cash if payment is received within 10 days of the
end of the auction. After the 10 day period has passed, no deduction may be taken.
If the purchase price is not paid in full, the auctioneer may either cancel the sale,
and any partial payment already made shall be there upon forfeited as liquidated
damages or the auctioneer may resell the lot, without notice to the buyer.
Absentee, Written, Telephone and Internet bids: Absentee bids are welcomed.
Absentee bids will be executed as if the bidder were present at the auction with the
earliest bid received having preference in case of a tie between absentee bidders.
Floor bids will be taken over absentee bids in case of a tie. Absentee, written
or telephone bids are subject to the same 18% buyer's premium, and all credit
requirements as listed above. Internet bids are subject to a 23% buyer's premium as
well as the credit requirements. You may deduct 3% from the buyer's premium when
The Auctions at Rookwood
paying by check or with cash. The auctioneer, The Auctions at Rookwood, LLC and
their employees are not responsible for absentee, written or telephone bids that are
not properly executed.
We have a limited number of telephone lines available during the auction. These
will be reserved on a first come first served basis for telephone bidding. Due to the
limited number of lines, we may not be able to accommodate telephone bidding on
lots with low estimates of under $500. We will be happy to accept absentee bids
on any lots not eligible for telephone bidding. All packing and shipping cost will be
borne by the purchaser.
Floor bids, phone bids, internet bids and absentee bids are all independent
operations in an auction and we cannot guarantee which will reach a certain point in
the bidding first. We will treat all bids with the same respect.
Live Auctioneers will accept absentee bids for our auction which they will execute for
you. Keep in mind that Live Auctioneers is one of four entities bidding in our auction.
The others include phone bidders, bidders in our audience and our own absentee bidders.
To bid with Live Auctioneers, you must register at least two days prior to the auction.
The bottom line in any auction is simple: the highest bidder is the winner. It does
not matter when you leave your bid, because there is no way to control where the
bidding will start or where it will end. We wish to be fair to everyone but leaving
absentee bids with Live Auctioneers or with us does not guarantee you will be the
high bidder when the bidding is over.
If you would like a demonstration of how this works, please let us know.
In the case of tie bids from absentee bidders, the earliest received bid will be the
winner. Floor bids, phone bids, internet bids and absentee bids are all independent
operations in an auction and we cannot guarantee which will reach a certain point in
the bidding first. We will treat all bids with the same respect.
Phone Bids: Phone lines are available on a first come, first served basis and are
limited in number. All requests for overseas telephone lines must be accompanied
by absentee bids which will be executed on the behalf of the bidder in case there is
any problem in making the phone connection. Please make arrangements for phone
lines as soon as possible, preferably at least one day before the sale. Please call
to arrange for phone lines rather than fax or email the request. We also desire that
anyone bidding on the phone be ready to bid up to the low estimate on the item
in question. If that is not possible, we would prefer that you leave an absentee bid
(which can be any amount) rather than tie up a phone line.
Buyer's Premium: All bids are subject to an 18% buyer's premium and all credit
requirements as listed above. Internet bids are subject to a 23% buyer's premium as
well as the credit requirements. You may deduct 3% from the buyer's premium when
paying by check or with cash. The final bid ("hammer" price) is subject to a buyer's
premium (see "Absentee, Written, Telephone and Internet bids" above). The purchase
price is the total of these two sums.
Reserves and Estimates: The estimated value of each lot is printed in the catalog,
and merely reflects the price range into which a lot might fall. All lots have a reserve
price below which they will not be sold. The reserve price is not published in the
catalog, but in no case is it higher than the lower amount of the estimated price.
Removal: All lots are to be removed by their buyers not later than 9:00 p.m. day of
sale. Lots are released to buyers upon presentation of proof of payment.
Packing and Shipping: There is a minimum charge of $20 plus insurance to pack
and ship any single lot in the sale. We do our own packing and shipping and we
use quality materials and have expert packers. We will pack any item and arrange
shipping through U.P.S., Federal Express, United States Postal Service or other
shippers, as long as the items are insured. International shipping is likewise available.
Packing and shipping will be done on a "time and material" basis and all cost will be
billed directly to the purchaser but there is a minimum cost of $20 plus insurance for
any single item shipped. Because of the large number of items to be shipped after
our auction, please expect delivery to take 3 to 4 weeks for all merchandise shipped.
Items are shipped in the order in which they are paid.

lots with potential buyers at all presale exhibitions, or by telephone (513-381-2510)
Monday thru Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

around the vase. Impressed with the Rookwood symbol, the

of Rookwood's best. Height is 6 7/8 inches.
7000–9000
0663

Shirayamadani, who finely detailed five white cranes by a
pool with grasses around. Impressed with the Rookwood
symbol, which indicates the date, and shape 735 D and
incised with the artist's script signature. There is light
crazing and the presence of overspray, which indicates
restoration of some sort.
2000–2500

decorated in 1902 by Albert Valentien, who painted large

C, a sideways P for Porcelain body and the impressed

5000–7000
0667 Fine Black Opal low vase with three lightly carved
fish and added aquatic plants done in 1925 by Kataro
Shirayamadani. The vase then received the colorful glaze
effects associated with Black Opal. As a bonus, the vase
is lined in Shirayamadani's maroon glaze which seems to
have been his alone to use. Impressed with the Rookwood
symbol, the date and shape 494 B and incised with the
Master's script signature. Uncrazed and very clean. Height
4 3/4 inches.
6000–8000

Schmidt, who painted a photorealistic scene of sailboats
at harbor. Impressed with the Rookwood symbol, the
date and shape 295 E and marked with Mr. Schmidt's
monogram. Uncrazed with the vase slightly out of round
which does not affect the aesthetic appeal. The artist's
attention to detail is seen here with even fishermen, some
small white clouds and birds flying overhead being visible.
3500–4500

0669 Rare Iris glaze vase with Art Nouveau tulip decoration
done by Kataro Shirayamadani in 1900. Yellow flowers
and green stems are nicely contrasted against the milky
white ground. The flower heads themselves are done in
very heavy slip and have a fair amount of dimensionality.
Marks include the Rookwood logo and flames indicating
1900 along with Special shape number S 1656. There are
also remnants of the red acquisition numbers used by the
Cincinnati Art Museum for pieces on loan from Rookwood
and an older paper label which reads "1900 150." A quick
look in Stanley Burt's "2,292 Pieces of Early Rookwood
Pottery in the Cincinnati Art Museum in 1916" shows the
following entry for item 150 in 1900: "S 1656 Shiri Iris
no crz." We assume the label was placed squarely over
the artist's cypher by Stanley Burt himself. Height 13 1/8
inches. Excellent original condition with a bit of crazing.
Rookwood thought enough of this vase to lend it to the
CAM and it is also possible that it may have made its way
to Paris for the 1900 Expo.

0674 Rookwood mug with a nicely done portrait of a
collie dog painted by E.T. Hurley in 1933. We have seen
a few yellow tinted pieces from this period which are done
exactly like Standard glaze pieces from 25 years before.
I think "Standard Glaze Revival" would be a good name for
them. This one bears the company logo and date, shape
number 587 C and the incised initials of Mr. Hurley. Height
4 5/8 inches. Uncrazed and a portrait that would make
Lassie proud.

Rookwood artists used and his imaginative composition.

by John Dee Wareham in 1902. Pictured are white clematis

very stylish with strong color. Marks include the Rookwood
logo and the date, shape number 907 B, a wheel ground X
and the incised initials of the artist. Height 16 7/8 inches.
Why the X? There is a small stilt pull on the outside edge
of the vase which is slightly visible from the side. I can
imagine Wareham's displeasure at finding this magnificent
piece marked as a second because of faulty placement of
a stilt but that is the case. There is a slight bit of crazing
near the base and at some point, the vase was drilled to
make it into a lamp.

in block letters and incised with her initials by the artist.
No crazing. There are a few stray blue spots on the gray
ground and there are firing separations at two of the three
corners at the rim. Her father was the first professional
potter at Rookwood, so she came upon her affinity for clay
naturally.
700–900

intricate stylized repeating design by William Hentschel in
1922. Impressed with the Rookwood insignia, the date and

0828 Impressive Relief Sea Green vase with parrot tulip
decoration done in 1899 by John Dee Wareham. The
vase is unusual in that it is lightly carved (relief flowers)
by Wareham and perhaps more significantly because of
the cobalt color used in the stems and leaves which has
managed to stay in place. Most Rookwood examples
using cobalt have significant color runs. Marked with the
Rookwood logo and date, shape number 804 C, an incised
G for Sea Green glaze and the incised initials of the artist.
Height 13 1/8 inches. Light overall crazing and a neat drill

seminal Jensen design.

decoration, most likely the work of Alza Stratton. Done
in colorful shades of glossy finishes, the piece is marked
with the Kenton Hills logo and shape 87 number along
