    Hi, thought I would share my find today. I thought it was beautiful but I had no idea what I had until I researched. This Rookwood is between 1890 and 1892 because that is when the artist worked there. It is a special mold because it has the S 1137 and it has an L and a W I have no idea what those stand for. Any one know?

      Thanks Bellin I am jazzed about this one. I think this is called a standard glaze but the color graduates towards the bottom so I am not sure about that either.

      Thanks for the love all, I found out L stands for standard glaze and w for white clay. I just love it when I find answers it makes all the work worth it.
