For Auction is an adorable Art Pottery Basket made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is "Pinecone" and it is done in their most popular Blue background glaze. This Pattern and Color is one of Roseville's most desirable to Collect. The Basket is very petite size as it stands 6 1/2" tall and is approximately 5 3/4" in diameter outside handles measurement. The Vase depicts a very realistic handle in the form of a branch joined to a Pine Cone with green pine needles protruding from the Cone. This handle gives this piece its realistic appeal. On one end of the handle is a Pine Cone with Needles and the other side has a thick curled lip. The Pine Cone attaches to the lip with the Pine Needles extending out and down to join another set of pine needles that are attached to the waist. The Glaze colors are very pleasing as the Background is a light cream color surrounded by a bright Royal Blue. The Pine cones display a warm cocoa brown glaze. The Pine Needles that Protrude from the Pine Cone are done in a Sage Green Glaze. When looking into the vase it has a heart shaped appearance as shown in picture 4. Frank Ferrell's was the Artist that Created this Pattern for Roseville. This was the most popular design that he ever created while working at The Roseville Pottery Company. In fact, the company would have had to close it doors if it wasn't for the success of this line. The Pinecone line was considered the most Popular Line ever made at Roseville Pottery and that is still evident today. There are 4 colors that the Pinecone Line was made and they are Blue, Brown, and Green and Pink. Pink Commands the Highest Price and is Rarely seen. Blue Commands the next highest price with Brown not too far behind. The Basket is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The inside shows almost no signs of use. On one end there are a few light areas in the glaze and this is pictured and considered insignificant. The Basket is signed with "Roseville U.S.A." raised relief mark along with the shape number "408-6" also done in raised relief. There is also the number the letter "X" written in a Blue Grease Pencil. More than likely this was the finishers marks. This is a quality piece of art pottery that will enhance any art pottery collection, especially those of you who collect Roseville Blue Pinecone. This size Basket Rarely comes up for sale without damage. These are small baskets and it was very common for these to get knock over and broken but this one "IS NOT". The condition and quality doesn't get much better than this. This would make an excellent Christmas, Birthday or Valentines Day Gift!! This Vase was made, Circa 1935-1940.   « Less

For sale is a lovely Art Glass Vase made by Loetz Klostermuehle of Bohemia which is now the modern day Czech Republic. The Pattern is called "Papillon" and the form is a Flower Vase. The Vase is a nice cabinet size as it stands 4 1/8" tall and has a diameter of 3 3/8" at its widest point. The bottom of the vase has a diameter of 1 5/8". The Vase has an outstanding Gold Papillon (Oil Spot) Decoration. The elongated mottles are tightly packed next to each other in a vertical fashion. The iridescence is just outstanding as you can see vivid colors of Golds, Blues, and and some Fuchsia along with Platinum Blue on the bottom side. The vase displays a classic Greek Urn shape. It starts out thin at the bottom, then flares out at an angle and then it comes back in. The neck rises up above the body and flares out ever so gently. The neck is fairly tall for the vessel. The base glass is clear glass with this applied Papillon Decoration. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The opening at the top has a nicely polished and beveled top lip. The bottom does not have a counter sunk polished pontil. This means this vase was blown into a mold from the top then cut at the top and polished. This was very typical of your European Glass Houses to do this. The American Houses usually displayed a counter sunk and polished pontil with a fire polished rolled edge. The Vase is unsigned as is typical of Loetz vases. It more than likely had a paper label at one time. There is no doubt that this is Loetz as this decorated pattern technique is a well documented design. The vase is very clean outside and in and it shows minimal signs of use. This is one of the nicest Gold Papillon Decor Vases I have ever owned. The decoration is brilliant and well defined. I'm quite sure the lucky buyer will be very pleased with their purchase. This vase was made circa 1899-1905 and is considered the early years for Loetz.   « Less

This means this piece was made in July of 1974 and was the 104 Paperweight in that decor. Orient + Flume was started by well known glass artist David Hopper who got the first MA in glass from San Jose State (SJS) in 1969 and his wife Shari Maxson Hopper and their partner Douglas Boyd who got his degree from SJS in a combination of glass and clay. The partnership ended in 1982 and the glass production after that has changed since David was the lead glassblower everyday and Douglas has not blown glass since the late 70's. This is one of Orient + Flumes earlier works as they were founded in 1972 by noted glass artist David Hopper. This is only 2 years into their History and a very nice example at that. This is a quality Art Glass Paperweight made by one of the Finest Art Glass Blowers of Today.

The frame width is 5 7/8" wide and has a 6" handle. The Coin Purse measures 2 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" wide when closed. It opens up to accomodate bills on the interior and measures 6 3/4" when open. The Purse has a metal mesh armor exterior and a peach satin liner. The Purse is very functional as there is a good size compartment for necessities with a kiss clasp that closes securely. There is an interior open pocket that might have held a mirror although I am not sure of this as it seems as though it was never used. The gold handle is a rope type thicker chain than most I've seen but it is to accomodate the weight of the purse and change purse and compliments them nicely. There is a simple but elegant frame with fleur de lis type decorations on each corner of the frame. The Coin Purse is just darling! It has a change compartment that closes tightly with a kiss clasp. There is also a snapping closure compartment in order to hold cash. This has a black satin lining and adding to my delight and surprise at the remarkable condition of this little gem, there is also the original blue shield shaped tag. The tag reads Whiting & Davis MADE IN U.S.A. along with their typical logo. The Purse and change purse are considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no tears in the linings and no unpleasant odors. The metal armor mesh is all in fine condition and the frames and hinges are undamaged as well.

For sale I have a very Rare piece of Art Pottery made by The Cambridge Pottery Company of Cambridge, Ohio. The Item is a Vase and the pattern is "Lily Pads". It is done in an absolutely beautiful Arts and Crafts Deep Rich Matte Green Glaze. The Vase is a nice cabinet size as it stands 5 3/4" tall and is 3 3/4" in diameter at its widest point. The Vase has a rather interesting shape and I would call it a "Tapered Cylindrical" shape. The Vase depicts a beautiful Arts and Crafts Pattern of "Lily Pads". There are 3 uniquely shape Lily Pads surrounding the vessel. The form is mold made but I firmly believe the definition in the Lily Pads were tooled or enhanced by the Potter. When the thick tooled lily Pad design was added, the form took on more of a hand thrown look. Any unevenness around the rim or in the thickness of the walls is a direct result of the "Tooled" process. It gives this vessel a definitive hand-thrown appearance. Maybe that is what the final applications of the tooling and heavy matte green glaze were indented to create. The definition in the Lily Pads and Stems is wonderful. The Matte Green Glaze is one of the best I have ever seen for richness in color tone. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There are a few areas on the vase that are light in the Glaze. This is common on this form as I have only seen 2 others in my 36+ years as a dealer collector and their glaze was quite similar. The piece is unsigned but it displays that Ohio Valley Clay beneath the matt green glaze. You can see the 3 rectangular shaped stilt marks on the bottom. This helped tremendously in identifying the manufacturer of this Vase. This is a wonderful and Arts & Crafts Style Vase. It has a Great Theme and it is considered quite rare!! I feel the Matte Green Glaze rivals that of Grueby, Weller, Roseville and Hampshire Pottery. This vase was made during the height of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Circa 1900-1910. This would look outstanding on that Stickley Arts and Crafts style Bookcase. I'm quite sure the buyer of this will be quite pleased.   « Less
