Russell Crook studio hand carved relief tile depicting a running wolf in black glaze. A design possibly from his depictions of Jungle Book. This heavy tile measures 7 1/2 inches long, 6 inches high, and about 1 1/4 inches thick, framed in an arts & crafts quartered oak frame (15 3/8" x 11 3/4"). It is in great condition with only as made roughness and an in the making firing line to the left side and no chips, big cracks, or repairs. Unmarked. An excellent example of a rare Arts & Crafts New England studio pottery. Russell Crook worked by himself in Lincoln MA. He was an early member of the Society of Arts & Crafts, Boston and studied with Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and John Henry Twachtman and communicated with Charles Binns. He attended the Arts Students League in NY, and the Pennsylvania Institute of Art. Among his other accomplishments, he designed tiles for Grueby and created the fountain in Center Harbor NH.
