Adam and Eve, from the first Artware collection, were of classic Greek style and symbolized the enduring qualities of fine design and craftsmanship for which Royal Haeger is known today. This is the "Adam Vase"Haeger's famous glazes, frequently imitated but never successfully copied, have always been made by expert craftsmen.
The glaze covering the artware must be perfectly mixed and blended; hard and durable when fired, without cracks. Above all, the color must be clear and lustrous. Careful dipping assures a uniform coating of the bisque. Vase is done in the same "Teco Style" of vases. Signed on base "Haeger USA" 1871 Design No 1 Vase was possibly made in 1914, that being one of the first years Haeger started making artware.
That would make this vase 100 years old in a few days .......Wow
Thanks all.....great history on Haeger also on how they rebuilt Chicago after the big fire in 1870. They supplied most of the bricks to rebuild........Initially they were a brick-making firm before they entered the art pottery business.
