I got this at an auction that had some nice pottery items, mostly ca. 1950s, all were marked with brands except for this one. It's 8" long, on two legs. Seems like some good thick clay and craze resisting glaze. I say "crinkled" for lack of a better word...crinkled? crackled? I don't know what to call that "style," it looks like a stone wall or a piece of crumpled up paper. Anyone recognize this style or know a possible manufacturer, or really anything? Thanks!!

Oh man, I know the name of this! I saw it made out of glass on antiques roadshow. What was it?! ??? Something with an "O"? Optix...Cubix? Cubitz? I gotta go look now!
-
I would call it Rock, seen a few of this style, can't remember The actual name. At first glance sure looked like a Royal Copley, but usually their feet are not as tall. But maybe look at the Royal Copley stuff, This would be considered a Window Planter, and Royal Copley is known for that. I will have to dig up a pic of the bottom of Royal Copley stuff, These can be hot items. Also this is for sure mid century pottery, and is very unique.

Here is the bottom of a Royal Copley item, see a piece of mid-century pottery and the bottom looks like this it would be a Royal Copley.

Wow, thanks, hosman and ironlord! That really helps, I'm on it...I'll be checkin'! ;D

Oh my gosh, I think I found it!! This is a different color and slightly smaller version but it's McCoy:

Calls it a McCoy 1969 Stone Planter.

Funny because I was searching for it for like an hour and finally got off-track looking at a cute little pottery animal and that's when I accidentally found it. That happens to me so often lately...I'll be looking for one thing and accidentally find another. ::)

Awesome job! The set of glasses on antiques roadshow are still driving me CRAZY. But I believe they were from about the 1940s.

Ok, it's all your fault. I want this one!

LOL!! I'm up most of the nights, too. There's a whole room of things calling "identify me!" You weren't waaaay off, that is actually really similar, just in glass. I can totally see why you would have thought of it. That jewelry box is pretty but come on you can find a $7 version of that ;)
-
By the way, let's all be on the lookout for this McCoy Grapes Jar...according to Warman's it's a non-production piece worth $7,000+! Makes me want to go the library tomorrow and check out some McCoy books and see if mine is a non-production piece, ha! Well, it IS unmarked...I can't believe that person is selling theirs for $7. There's only a few of that planter style out there for sale at all, and they're like all different colors or sizes, no two the same.
-
Hosman Tiffany did not produce the original ruba rombic but that piece is similar, have had an eye out for original ruba rombic for about 25 years and have never seen a piece in person!!! http://www.liveauctiontalk.com/free_article_detail.php?article_id=74
great Piece of pottery greenhorngirl!!!!
-
Do you know when Tiffany might have made that one? Much later or about the same time as the original? That fish bowl with the stand just makes me drool, I bet it went for a lot!
-
Nice piece Greenhorn!! Loving that fish bowl too!
-
Thanks, Wendy & Oceans! In case anyone stumbles upon one of these in the future, the McCoy Pottery Collectors Society was kind enough to write me back with this information on the green planter: "The Nelson McCoy Pottery produced your type planter in 1967. The company did not assign a particular name to it, but just called it a 'Dish Garden'. Sometimes collectors give various pieces a name, so you can run into various names all the time.
The Style Number of this planter McCoy is 683.
In good condition its value is around $20.00."

I do know most Ruba Rombic was produced by Consolidated created by Reuben Haley ,but it was also made by Lalique , Kopp- Ruba Rombic made in Swissdale Pennsylvania in 1928 by Nicholas Kopp, a former worker from the Consolidated Company, Muncie(pottery) Ruba Rombic , Phoenix made one Ruba Rombic item, a Fish bowl.
Would need to research the tiffany line.
Pottery in Ruba Rombic? Yes! The designer of the Ruba Rombic line, Ruben Haley designed a line of pottery in the style of Ruba Rombic for the Muncie Pottery Company in Muncie Indiana in 1929. The Muncie glazes along with the pottery medium bring out even another dimension to the cubistic forms and shapes.
