For Sale I have a Unique Shaped Vase made by The Rookwood Pottery Company of Cincinatti, Ohio. The item is a Footed Vase and its is a nice size. The vase stands 7 1/2" tall and is 3 1/8" at its widest point at the Shoulder. The Vase depicts a Round Footed Tapered Grecian Urn Vase with Tall Exaggerated Looped Handles. These handles rise up from the top lip and loop over to the Shoulder. The Vase has a very lovely Matte Robins Egg Blue background glaze with very nice mottling. The Mottling is deeper at the top and it bleeds ever so softly to the bottom. The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The Piece is signed with Rookwood's Impressed Reverse "RP" and Sunburst Logo along with the Roman Numerals "XXXVII" for the year of manufacture, 1937. There is also the mold number "6005F" impressed under the date. I believe the suffix "-F" mark was Rookwood's way of identifying the size and further research confirms this. Shape numbers, and size letters were impressed below the Roman numeral date marking on Rookwood Pottery pieces. The shape number refers to the outline, or shape of the item. A letter or twin letters frequently followed the shape number. The single or twin letters were used to indicate the size of the shape. Size lettering ranged from A to F, with A being the largest size of the shape, and F the smallest. Twin letters indicated a size of the shape that fell between two other sizes. Not all items were marked with a size letter, indicating only one size for the shape was made. Thus, the letter C following the Mold or Shape number above meant it wasn't the largest or the smallest. It would have been considered a medium size. In my 35+ years as a dealer this is the first time I have ever had this Shape. This will make a wonderful addition to any Matte Art Pottery Collection and would look just great on that Stickley, Mission, Arts and Crafts Style Bookcase. It is simply amazing that these handles have survived 73 years without even a flea nick. Truly an excellent example in both form and color. I'm sure the lucky buyer will be delighted with their purchase.   « Less

For Sale I have a piece of one of my most favorite lines made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is Carnelian II and it is considered a Handled Bowl Shape. The Glaze is the most desirable Bubble Gum Cotton Candy Drip Glaze. The bowl stands 3" tall and is 10 1/2" outside handles measurement. The Blending of the Glaze on this piece is simply outstanding. The Blue Green Drip Over the frothy Matte Deep Mauve background glaze is just delicious!! The inside of the bowl is just as vibrant as the outside. The Glaze around the bowl is Thick and Gloppy. This is just the way we Carnelian II Collectors love this glaze to be. I have 2 Reference Books on Roseville Pottery and neither books shows this mold number. The closest I can come is mold number 161-7 which shows this to be a 7 1/2" bowl in this exact same shape. My guess would be it is number 161-10" as it is a size larger and it is the same exact shape as the cataloged smaller bowl. The bowl is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks, or dings. The piece is unsigned and probably had a paper sticker that fell off over time. These Carnelian II pieces seem to have a denser or harder clay than other Roseville Pots. The Bottom of this Bowl reminded me of Fulper Art Pottery bottoms. This is an exceptional Carnelian II Handled Bowl and you Collectors out there will surely welcome this one into your collection. This piece was made Circa 1915-1931. I would consider this somewhat of a "Rare" find as to not find documentation in 2 of the Most Respected Books in the Trade. Roseville in All Its Splendor by Bomm and Introducing Roseville Pottery by Mark Bassett is something to speak about.   « Less
