Context:

In 1901, Gates Potteries introduced a line of green art pottery called Teco (pronounced tee-co, from terra and cotta). Gates manufactured pottery with molds, which allowed mass-production and greater quality control. The result was a well-designed product that middle-class people could afford. This vase--one of the largest and finest examples of Teco--was designed by the firm's founder, William Day Gates. Its severe architectonic form, subtle glaze, and restrained decoration placed it far ahead of its time. Some architects contributed designs for Teco ware, including George Grant Elmslie and Frank Lloyd Wright.
