For Sale is a lovely vase with a Spectacular Glaze made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is called "Carnelian II" and the form is known as a "Doubled Handled Trumpet" Flower Vase. The Vase has some size as it stands 10 1/8" tall and is 5 3/4" in diameter outside handles measurement.

The Vase displays a Fabulous Example of this Particular Glaze. There is a deep rich Purple Wisteria Glaze accented with Green that drips down from the top over the edge and down towards the bottom of the Vase. It swirls into a Pink to Dusty Rose Bubble Gum Glaze. It is accented with 2 large dramatic scroll styled handles that rise from the bottom and curl over and up meeting in the middle of the vase. It is then Marbleized with a lighter hue of Plum, more like Raspberry and Lilac at the bottom. The Glaze is Goopy and drippy as you can see and feel the thickness around the bottom edge of the Vase. It kinds of reminds me of Cotton Candy as the Glaze Looks that Yummy.

The vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. The piece is not signed on the bottom and more than likely had a Paper or Black Foil Label at one time. I usually find these with a Red Crayon mold number on the bottom but this one does not have it. I believe this Shape was adapted from the Carnelian I Line. This was not uncommon for Roseville to do this with the Carnelian II line in their earlier years of this particular pattern. The inside of the Pot is Green which means it was originally intended to be a Carnelian I Vase but someone decided to glaze over this and it created this fabulous glaze in the Carnelian II Line. This is known as shape number 323-10" in the Roseville Pottery Catalog pages.

The piece has an Arts and Crafts appeal. This Pot is all about the Glaze and Form and this one has it all. This is a great example of this particular glaze and I'm sure the buyer will not be disappointed. The Vase was made circa, 1915-1927.
