Topic: RumRill H-49 Vase

[JeffTheGreat]

The bottom of my vase is marked: "RUMRILL H.49 MADE IN USA". Does any one know what RumRill called this color or this style? And what year(s) is it from?

All I can find is Redwing pottery and a potter called G.Rumrill who worked for them,they started in the 19th century and were still going in the 60's,might be a starting point

RumRill Art pottery by Red Wing

RumRill Art pottery was made by Red Wing from 1933 to 1937. George Rumrill was an art pottery designer & salesman who contracted with Red Wing to make his art pottery. RumRill shapes were numbered from 50 to 677.[12][13])

From 1938 to 1941 RumRill pottery was made in Ohio [14]and possibly by Shawnee Pottery[15] , and Gondor Pottery [16])

So the question is: how come yours says 49, Jeff?     I wonder if the Redwing Collectors Society could add more info? http://www.redwingcollectors.org/

Yes they have a little more here:

H.49 is not a Red Wing number. So I assume it was produced by one of the Ohio potteries after Mr. Rumrill left Redwing.
