Item:225998935110Nude Flower Figurine Vase CARL ROMANELLI Metlox Calif Pottery Turquoise VTG 40's. Nude Figurine Vase by Artist Carl Romanelli while working for Metlox Pottery, a California company, that is a book piece that is in excellent vintage condition. This Carl Romanelli Nude vase has a light turquoise satin glaze. This figurine came in both ivory white and this turquoise color. This figurine is approximately 8 3/4" high & base is approximately 4" x 3 1/4". This has 3 different holes for flower arranging at the backside of this figurine. This is a book piece and is noted on page 171 of the book California Pottery (see picture). From what I have found, Metlox was producing mostly kitchen wares until the hired an upcoming sculptor, Carl Romanelli in the 1930's. This was the first artwear designer hired by Metlox. Carl Romenelli and Metlox Potterys most sought after pieces came from the series of "Modern Masterpieces" which included figurines and figural vases. This is most certainly from this line. This has black markings underneath on the bottom of this figurine (see picture). I purchased this piece almost 40 years ago at an antique shop in El Centro, California. CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition with NO chips, cracks or any issues.
