<p>[QUOTE=&quot;capitulation, post: 555661, member: 10248&quot;]ah..I didnt know they were called &#039;flag irises&#039;, thank you for that.&nbsp; At this point Im just trying to get a feel for the age of them - they strike me as at least 30-40 years old (just a gut feeling, and going by the mark).&nbsp; They have a few flea bites and dont strike me as modern at all.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As clutteredcloset49 mentioned, theres a good probability they are the work of a studio artist.&nbsp; Given that this area was/is the home of the Northwest Terra Cotta Company, the American Terra Cotta company, Teco pottery, the Prairie School style architecture, and the Art Institute of Chicago one can only imagine how many local artisans were here throughout the 20th century with the skills to make these.&nbsp; Perhaps inquiring with local pottery experts would be best, and maybe they could identify if the clay is local or not.&nbsp; If nothing else, a great inspiration to continue picking!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
