[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 2333216, member: 1262"]Hello & Welcome to the forum! I collect Rookwood Pottery but am by no means an expert. Your vase looks relatively new, perhaps a few decades old. I agree the mark looks very strange. As you probably know Rookwood has a messy history, being sold and restarted several times in recent decades but your piece doesn't look like one of the newer iterations of Rookwood Pottery either. The article below states that; "There are many copies of Rookwood pieces that have been made straight from the vintage originals that have no copyright protection ...... Sloppy-looking Rookwood marks are usually a good sign of a fake; many times, these poorly made marks are on one-of-a-kind pieces, which are typically fakes and have no year or model number. Small details, like the tiny hook shapes at the end of the flame mark, are usually missing on fake pieces."
