For Auction I have a Wonderful piece of Art Pottery made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is called "Dogwood II" and it is done in their Smooth Version. The Shape is the Highly Collected and most desirable "Jardinière" Shape. The Jardinière Stands 6 1/4" tall and is 7 1/2" in diameter.

The Jardinière has a very nice Smooth Olive to Moss Green Glaze that is accented along the bottom with a Brown under glaze giving this piece that organic feeling of the Ground or Dirt. The Vase Displays Embossed almost Ivory Dogwood Flowers Clinging to Black Vines along the top portion of the Vase. There is a Cluster of Three Dogwood Flowers with a 4th on one side and Two Horizontal and 1 on the side on the back side. The Black Branches connect each Cluster of Flowers. The Glaze along the top edge displays wonderful mottling. The detail is just wonderful as the Flowers Show their Raised Centers of Pistils.

The Jardinière is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The Piece is unsigned and some of these have been found with Roseville's Early "RV" Ink Stamp Signature Mark. This is a quality piece of Art Pottery made by Roseville and would enhance any Art Pottery Collection. This is known as shape number 590-6" in The Roseville Pottery Catalog pages.

The Dogwood II line was made Circa 1916-1919.
