For sale is a lovely vase made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is called "Pinecone" and it is done in their Green background glaze. This pattern and color is one of Roseville's most desirable to Collect. The Vase is rather large as it stands 8 1/ 4" tall and is 7 1/2" wide outside handles measurements. The foot has a diameter if 3 7/8". The Vase has a very pleasing soft Green background Glaze with undertones of white glaze on the center body of both sides. The Vase depicts a pair of realistic handles in the form of a branch. These are attached just under the neck. On each side of the Vase is a Brown Pine cone nestled between Pine Needles that protrude out from the bottom and top. These pine needles extend out from the Pine cone. The Pine cone is Crisper and more detailed on one side than the other. One of the Pine cones sits at the top of one handle on one side and the bottom of the handle on the opposite side. The inside has a wonderful creamy beige glaze and is extremely clean inside. This was Frank Ferrell's 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 in the Mid to Late 1930's. 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 in and they are Blue, Brown, Green and Pink. Pink Commands the Highest Price and is Rarely seen. Blue Commands the next highest price with Brown and Green not too far behind. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings.

For sale is a lovely Art Pottery Tile made by The Rookwood Pottery Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The item is called a "Tea Trivet Tile". It is a very pleasant size as it measures 5 5/8" Square and is only 7/8" Tall. The Tile Displays a Dutch Harbor Scene of a Woman in Dutch Dress and a child holding onto her apron. They are looking into the Harbor where a boat with a mast is moored. There is a Windmill in the background and tightly clustered trees with their foliage. The detail is just wonderful. You can even see the Shoreline!! There are wonderful vivid pastel colors of Country Blue, 2 shades of Green, Rose, Coral and 2 shades of Brown, with Lavender and White. There are a lot of Glaze Colors in this Tile. I can count 9 different Glazes in it. This tile sits on 8 applied feet all along the bottom edges for stability. The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The only issue to report is some minor peppering in the Lavender and Coral glaze. This happens quite often with the Tea Trivet Tiles. When you put a much lighter colored tile in the oven after much darker items were in the oven beforehand the lighter glaze can pick up small pepper spots in the glaze. This does not hurt the Value what so ever! The piece is signed with the Impressed Reverse RP Rookwood Pottery and Sunburst Logo along with the Roman Numerals "XXIX" for the year of manufacture, 1929. There is also the mold number "3203" impressed just below the date. This is a quality Tile made by one of America's foremost Pottery Manufacturers of the early 20Th Century. I'm quite sure the buyer will be quite pleased with their Purchase!!   « Less

For sale is a splendid Arts and Crafts piece of Art Pottery made my Hampshire Pottery of Keene, New Hampshire. The Piece is a "Chamber Stick" or "Candlestick". The Glaze is done in Hampshire's most Popular Matte Cucumber Greene Glaze. The Ewer is 2 1/2" tall and 4" in diameter. This Chamber Stick displays a very nice Mottled Cucumber Green Glaze. The Glaze has wonderful charcoaling throughout!! The Deep Matte Cucumber Green Glaze Rivals any Matte Green Glaze produced by Grueby Faience of Boston, Mass. The Candlestick is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There is a area on the inside of the candle holder that is a little light in the green glaze. On the opposite side is a glaze pin pop inside the candle hole. The Candlestick or Chamber Stick is signed on the bottom side with the Impressed "Hampshire Pottery" Script Lettering plus the Mold or Shape Number "145" in raised relief. It also has the incised M inside a Circle mark. This dates this piece to Circa 1904-1914. These were the years that Cadmon Robertson worked and managed Hampshire Pottery. He used this mark as a tribute to his wife Emoretta, who was the daughter of the Founder, James Scollay Taft in 1871. Hampshire started producing Matte Glazes in 1891. This was 7 years earlier than their main Competitor Grueby Faience of Boston, Mass. Hampshire Pottery resembles the style of Grueby but were much more affordable as they were mold made pieces as opposed to hand thrown. I would consider this an excellent example of this Matt Green Glaze in both form and Glaze. This will make a wonderful addition to any matte Pottery collection of Art Pottery and would look great on that Stickley Mission Arts and Crafts Bookcase.   « Less

For sale is a Lovely Art Glass Vase made by Orient & Flume of Chico, California. The Vase is a beautiful Floral Pattern and it is done in their Crystal Cased technique. L.C.T. Tiffany Favrile did a similar technique and he called it his Paperweight Technique. The Vase stands 4" tall and is 3 3/8" in diameter at the shoulder. The Vase displays a wonderful Floral Pattern of Lilac Anemones with orange pistil centers and small trailing white vine flowers above and below these Anemone Flowers. The Base glass is a deep Eggplant purple encased in a clear outer glass. What a nice Art Glass Vase that will please the most discriminating Art Glass Collector. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips, or dings. There are some minor scratches on the bottom and this is typical age wear. The piece is signed on the bottom with Orient & Flume's paper label as well as "Orient & Flume" written in script along with the letters and numbers"CC1984 M88 ". This means this piece was made in May of 1984 and was the 88th Crystal Cased "CC" Paperweight Technique Vase 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 a quality Art Glass Vase made by some of the Finest Art Glass Blowers of Today. This will look wonderful in any Art Nouveau Decor as well as enhancing any Art Glass Vase Collection.   « Less

For sale is a Lovely Art Pottery Bowl made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is called "Pinecone" and it is done in their most highly collected Blue Background Glaze. This Pattern and Color is one of Roseville's most desirable to Collect. The Bowl stands 2 3/8" tall and is 9" in diameter outside handles measurement. The inside of the Bowl measurements are 6 3/8" in diameter. The Bowl has a very pleasing Blue background Glaze with the Background behind the Pine Needles being a lightly peppered sand colored Glaze. The Vase depicts very realistic handles in the form of branches joined to a Pinecone with Green Needles protruding from the Cone. The Pine cone itself has very nice detail done in a light brown glaze color. The inside of the bowl is very clean and shows a wonderful Speckled Tan-light brown Glaze. This was Frank Ferrell's 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 Bowl is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks nicks, chips or dings. The Vase is signed with the Incised "Roseville" mark along with the mold number 354-6". There is also the number "4" and the letter "D" written in the same Blue Background Glaze. More than likely this was the finishers number and Artist Initial. I also saw in impressed number 7. I would assume that was a different finishers number as I rarely see an incised number on the bottom of Roseville pieces. This is a quality piece of Art Pottery that will enhance any art pottery collection, especially those of you who collect Roseville Blue Pinecone. The Bowl or Planter was made Circa 1935-1940.   « Less

For sale I have a very nice Jardinière made by the Weller Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is known as "Bedford Matt Green" and it is outstanding. The Jardinière is a good size as it stands 6 1/4" tall and is 8 1/4" in diameter. The Jardinière Displays a very Nice Frothy Mottled Matte Green Glaze. This Glaze is very similar to Hampshire's Cucumber Matte Green Glaze and I suspect that Weller created the Bedford Matt Green Line to specifically compete with them. The Shape is a very pleasing Tapered Shape with a Closed in Rim. This could be used on a small pedestal or on the Floor as a Floor Vase or a Center Piece displaying Flowers. The Jardinière is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The piece is unsigned but it has the Painted Blue Green Glaze on the bottom side. This is a tell tale sign of unsigned Weller in the Bedford Matt Line. There is an Inclusion on the inside bottom and you can see a little bit of a calcium deposit ring on the inside. This is minor and only mentioned for accuracy. Those of you who decorate in the Arts and Crafts, Mission Style will surely welcome this accessory into the home. It will also enhance any Matte Green art Pottery Collection. This would look outstanding with anyone Decorating with Gustav Stickley or Mission Arts and Crafts Furniture. I'm sure the lucky winner will be very happy with their Purchase. The Bedford Matt Line was considered an early line by Weller Pottery Circa 1905-1920.   « Less

It has a light Amethyst color that is accented with air bubbles varied in size throughout the entire body of the piece. There is a light frost to the vase with horizontal rings that vary in size and spacing. The vase has an Art Deco appeal and you can see the influence of Lalique Glass in this and many other early pieces produced by this company. This particular line was created by Reuben Haley who was known as one of the best glass designers in the country. He was not only a glass master but also a sculptor and metal worker. He would mold his design from clay first and then produce it in glass and was the creator of the Ruba Rombic and Martele Line as well. The Muncie Pottery Company is also known for its' Ruba Rombic line which was also designed by Reuben Haley. The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. The Vase is unsigned but guaranteed to be Vintage Consolidated Glass.
