Description
This small vase is part of a set of 21 vessels donated to the ROM in the 1920s by the federal Department of Mines. It is made of a clay body identified as coming from Brantford, Ontario. This vase, and the others in the set, were likely either made as tests for local potters of local clay bodies, or as part of a wider exploration into the viability of a ceramic industry in Canada.
