For Auction is a wonderful piece of Art Pottery made by The Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The pattern is "Forest" and the shape can be called a Planter, Jardinière, or Squat Vase. The Planter stands 4 1/2" tall and is 5 1/2" wide at the rim and 4 1/4" at the bottom. The Planter displays one of the most detailed mold Crispness I have ever seen on a Weller Forest item. Not only is the Mold Crisp but the Glaze Colors are equally as nice. The Jardinière displays a wonderful Forest Scene of Trees with lots of Foliage and a Waterfall in the background that forms a small stream snaking through the forest. The trees are done in a matt brown glaze and the Foliage in a matte green. The water is done in an ever pleasing light and dark matt blue glaze. The detail is just outstanding. The inside has a Blende Olive and Moss Green glaze and is very clean inside. The Planter sits up on 4 small horizontally raised feet on the bottom. The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The piece is unsigned as is common with this pattern. There are some signs of minimal wear to the bottom of the feet. The Weller Forest Pattern is very popular amongst Weller Pottery Collectors. This is a better than excellent example and I'm sure the lucky buyer will be very pleased with their purchase. This piece was made during Weller's Middle Period, Circa 1918-1935.   « Less

For Auction is a very nice piece of art pottery made by the Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The shape is a Vase and the pattern is known as "Tourmaline". The Vase measures 5 1/8" tall and is approximately 6 1/4" in diameter. The inside opening of the Vase measures 3 7/16" wide. The Vase depicts a wonderful Jade or Teal Blue/Green mottled Glaze. This piece is all about the Glaze and simplicity of its form. There are five horizontal raised rings at the upper portion of the Vase with four evenly spaced Vertical raised ribs or panels. This Vase would be a welcome addition to any Arts and Crafts or even an Art Deco Decor. The Vase is considered to be in Excellent to Mint Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. This Vase is very clean and I believe this piece saw minimal use and was very well taken care of. The piece is unsigned but guaranteed to be Vintage Roseville. This particular line was usually unsigned. It more than likely had an original Roseville Pottery silver foil label that fell off over time or washing. The shape number is known as 238-5" in the Roseville Catalog pages. The Vase was made Circa 1933.   « Less

For sale is a wonderful piece of pottery made by The Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. It is a Tub or Basket in the ever popular "Flemish" line. The Basket is 4 1/2" tall to the rim and is approximately 5 7/8" to the tip of the handles. The piece measures 8" wide at the outside rim of the bowl 8 7/16" to the outside of the handles. The Basket depicts a very natural looking woven basket adorned with a Garland of roses and leaves on each side. There are two twisted mock Rattan or Wicker handles. The background is an earthtone blended caramel and honey glaze with light accents of soft Moss Green. The Roses are a deep Mauve with lighter highlights on the high points. There are life like detailed leaves to complete the look. This form is referred to as a Tub in the Weller Books however it seconds as a Basket because of the handles. This would also make a lovely centerpiece for your fall or holiday decor and would easily second as a Fruit or Nut Bowl. The Basket is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. There is one Clay separation by one of the handles that happened in manufacturing. I have taken photos to show however you can even see in the photos that there are Glaze traces in the separation.The piece is unsigned but guaranteed to be Vintage Weller. There is an "16" in freehand Black Ink which I believe was the finishers mark. The piece is made Circa 1918-1928. This is a very versatile piece that will work with almost any decor as the Flemish line was a very extensive line and closely resembles Woodcraft, Alvin, Muskota and Baldwin just to mention a few. It focused on Nature at its best whether it be Flowers or Fruits.   « Less

For sale I have a lovely pair of Candlesticks made by the Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The pattern is known as "Snowberry". The Candlesticks measure 4 3/4" tall and are 3 7/16" wide at the base. The Candlesticks depict very pleasing clusters of White Berries with a handful of detained green leaves on brown winding branches flowing from the top to the bottom. This is set against a background Glaze that bleeds from a soft Rose at the top to an even deeper Rose Tone at the bottom. There are two handles on each side of the candlesticks that are somewhat angular. The pattern of berries and leaves are on both sides. The Candlesticks are in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. They are both signed with the raised relief Roseville U.S.A. signature along with 1CS2 which is the mold number. One of the candlesticks also has a raised relief number 3 and a number 17 written in grease pencil. The other candlestick has a number 7 or letter L incised into the bottom along with a couple of illegible grease pencil marks all of which I believe to be makers marks. The Candlesticks were made Circa 1947.   « Less

For sale I have a very nice Console Set made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is "Wincraft" and they are done in a mottled Green Glaze. There are three pieces to this set and the shapes are a nice sized Console Bowl with matching Candlesticks. The Console Bowl measures approximately 2 3/4" tall and 10 1/4" outside handle measurement. The inside rim of the bowl is ever so slightly oval and varies in measurement from 8" to 8 1/4" in diameter. The Candlesticks measure 2 1/8" tall and 3 3/4"in diameter. The pieces have a lovely Hi Gloss mottled Green Glaze. There is a pleasing Lime Green mottled with a Soft Sky Blue that graduates to a Chocolate Brown mottled with Lilac at the base of all pieces. It is quite stunning for all of these glazes to be incorporated on these functional pieces! The Bowl displays Embossed Mountain Laurel Flowers in bloom adorning the rim and a group of leaves coming from the base. The Buttress Style Handles are a wonderful accent to this piece. The Candlesticks are done in the same manner with more exaggerated angular handles. The set is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The Console Bowl is signed on the bottom with "Roseville U.S.A." in raised relief along with the mold number 226-8" also in raised relief. There is also a number 5 written in grease pencil along with an illegible letter which is most likely the finishers marks. The Candlesticks are signed with "Roseville U.S.A." in raised relief along with 251 which is the shape number. There is also a raised number 7 on each candlestick and I am not sure of the significance. There is a letter C in grease pencil on both of them which is a finishers mark. I'm not usually crazy about Hi Gloss Glazes but this line is a very beautiful and pleasing line. It was created late in Roseville's years as this console set was made Circa 1948. This was never a really successful line and there are not many examples on the market. Roseville Pottery was out of business by 1954. Those of you who Collect Wincraft and want an excellent example in both Form and Glaze Combination will surely welcome these pieces of Art Pottery into their Collection. These would also make a lovely Centerpiece to any table setting but not so elegant that they could be kept out for every day use.   « Less

For Auction is a large Art Pottery Vase made by "The Saturday Evening Girls" or "Paul Revere Pottery Company" of Boston, Mass. This splendid form I would call a "Tapered Wide Mouth Shoulder Vase". The Vase is quite large as it stands 10 1/2" tall and is 5 3/4" in diameter at the shoulder. The mouth or opening of the Vessel is 3 1/4" in diameter inside measurement and 4" outside. The Vase displays a very deep and rich Country Blue Glaze with black speckling throughout. The Glaze is a Semi-Gloss Glaze and it is clearly a SEG original Glaze. This Vase is considered a hand thrown piece of Art Pottery as you can feel the finger grooves on the inside. The Vase is quite heavy as I would guess it weighs 6-7 pounds. This form is a real favorite with the Arts and Crafts Aficionados. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There are a few very minor scratches in the glaze and can only be seen at an angle when held to the light. The piece is unsigned but there is no mistaken this to be Saturday Evening Girls (SEG) or Paul Revere Pottery Vase. Paul Revere Pottery is a later extension of the SEG Pottery Company. SEG pieces were usually signed in fired black ink on the bottom by the Artist's (2) Initials and dated Month-Year such as 11-24 for November 1924. The later pieces after 1926 only carried a Paul Revere Pottery Label. In this case I believe this to be a later period SEG or Paul Revere Pottery piece. The label simply came off, probably from cleaning over the years. I had a smaller version of this Vase that was sold awhile back. That one is clearly marked with the "Paul Revere Pottery" circular mark and is dated 9-25 in black ink. I can send you pictures if you desire. You will clearly see this large pot is definitely made by The Paul Revere/SEG Pottery Company of Boston, Mass. For those of you who want to learn more about SEG/Paul Revere Pottery I will attach a link to a web page that gives a brief but very descriptive information about them. Here it is http://www.journalofantiques.com/Jan06/feature.html just click on this link and it will bring you to it. This is a quality solid piece of Art Pottery. I'm quite sure the Buyer will be extremely pleased with their purchase. This piece was made Circa, 1926-1930.   « Less

For Auction I have a very nice Art Pottery Vase made by The Van Briggle Pottery Company of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Vase is done in a Popular Two Toned Glaze. The Vase is a nice size as it stands 7 9/16" tall and is 4 1/2" in diameter at the shoulder. The Vase has a wonderful Pattern of Embossed Arts and Crafts Stylized Vertical Leaves. These leaves somewhat resemble Tobacco Leaves. The Vessel is Cylindrical in shape and sits on a round shallow foot. These Wide Tall Leaves start just above the bottom roll on the vase and rise up to the lower neck or upper roll. The detail and crispness of the leaves is just splendid. The Vase displays a wonderful Two Toned Glaze. The background of the Vase is a deep Matte Mulberry or "Burgundy" Glaze. It is accented with a Speckled Country Blue overspray on top of the Leaves. This is an early and very well executed Glaze combination. The Vase is considered to be in Excellent to Mint Condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The piece shows minimal signs of use as it is as clean inside as it is outside. The Vase is signed on the bottom with Van Briggle's Incised Double A logo for Artus and Anna Van Briggle along with the Block Lettering "VAN BRIGGLE Colo. SPGS". The Vase has a Sandy buff bottom which helps date this piece to the 1920's. This is a nice early piece of Van Briggle in a very desired Glaze. It is known as shape number 852 in the Van Briggle Catalogue. This is a Rare Form and seldom seen, even on Ebay. I'm sure the buyer will be quite pleased with their purchase.   « Less

For sale is a wonderful Arts & Crafts design vase made by The Rookwood Pottery Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Vase stands 5 1/8" tall and is approximately 4 3/4"wide at the belly and 3" at the outside top rim. The Vase displays a very pleasing Mauve Background Glaze with a light sage green over spray. There are five Arts and Crafts Designed Mock Turtle Back Panels that resemble Chicago Crucible's 4 lobed version of this form. These are done in high raised relief. There is also a collar of white evenly spaced small circles at the neck of the vessel that completes this Arts & Crafts Design. 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 "XXVII" for the year of manufacture, 1927. There is also the mold number "2838" impressed under the date. This will make a wonderful addition to any Matte Pottery Collection and would look just great on that Stickley, Mission, Arts and Crafts Style Bookcase. It is simply amazing that this has survived 83 years without a flea nick.   « Less

For Sale is a beautiful Vase made by Roseville Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern name is know as "Wisteria" and it is a highly sought after pattern by Roseville Pottery Collectors. It is done in their Predominately Blue Tone Background Color. This is the most desirable of the Wisteria Glazes. The Vase is a large size as it stands 8 1/4" Tall and is 7 3/4" in diameter outside Handles measurement. The Vase displays a wonderful blue drip glaze on a sandy colored Tree Bark Textured background glaze. The glaze is wonderfully executed. It is accented with embossed Lilac Wisteria's Drooping down from a cluster of Sage Green Leaves surrounding the neck of the Vase. This is true for the opposite side of the vase as well. The Piece displays two wonderfully applied triangular shaped handles that start just under the top lip and attach to the waist of the vessel. These are done in a Mottled Caramel, Butterscotch Glaze with a touch of the deep blue over glaze. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks, dings. The piece is unsigned, but does have writing on the bottom in a Blue Grease pencil or blue glaze. There is a cursive "J 9sx" with "1 98 and a large letter W". There is also a letter "L" above all these marks. I believe these to be the finishers mark. The 1.98 is written like it was a price amount but I believe this piece sold for more than that when it was made. This piece is known as 680-8" in the Roseville Catalog and was made Circa 1937. Those of you who collect this pattern will gladly welcome this addition. Truly a Great example to add to your Wisteria Collection.   « Less
