Roseville Pottery

 

In 1892 George F. Young founded The Roseville Pottery Company in Zanesville, Ohio. Young and other pottery manufacturers saw Zanesville as ideal because of the rich clay deposits in the area. The first pieces of Roseville pottery was made in 1900 under the name "Rozane" or "Rozane goods". These early pieces hardly resemble the image of most of today's collectors associated with the "classic Roseville" look. Rozane product was very brown and blues glossed over, with hand-painted animals, Indians, nature scenes and portraits. These early pieces looked more like the line of Roseville Rookwood competitor, as the middle period Roseville matte and floral patterns.Bleeding Heart vase

8 "Bleeding Heart cornucopia vases
Rose Ville's Rozane product line was produced in the early 1920s. In the late teens and early 1920s began a new product line called Rozane Rose Craft. The patterns in this line include Black, Colors, Vintage, blended and extremely sought after hexagon. Rose Craft is the precursor of the distinctive style of the Roseville line.
Early Rozane goods and Rose Craft lines are often hard to detect. Unlike the more common middle period lines like Ixia, thorn apple, loofah, Moss, Magnolia, Peony, Cosmos, White Rose, Fuschia, Columbine, Iris, Bleeding Heart, Poppy, Clemana, freesia, water lily, Zephyr Lily, Bush Berry, Clematis, Snowberry, apple blossom, gardenia, and even earlier Pinecone has Rozane product on the floral patterns, matte surfaces and deco / modern molded piece as most of these Roseville lines. Most of this early period of pottery had often had the characteristics of the "RV". Although some of the goods Rozane Line bore a metal gasket, paper, "said Rozane goods", these labels are rarely intact.
During the 1910s, several lines were created and named after the artist to design. These styles are Donatello, Azurene, Fujiama and Pauleo. Although these pieces are covered by the Rozane goods or early time, today's collectors often as they Roseville.
In the end, the teenager, Frank Ferrell was the art director and developed multi-Roseville pieces with embossed or molded designs. In 1926, George Young's son, Russell T. Young, the company took over and with his impeccable sense of style and good taste, he gave to the world, what is known as Roseville pottery or middle period Roseville. In these models the 1931 Sienna or blue Pinecone the first series of signature or Roseville impressed in relief on the underside of each piece have been, although many of these pieces and a metallic "Roseville had" label as well.Embossed Brand

Embossed mark on the bottom of the vase, Roseville. Early pieces had paper labels.
One of the first lines of Frank Roseville Ferrell and most remarkable is designed Futura. This line is asymmetrical, 1928, Stark, and one of the most sought after Roseville lines. Futura is a fine example of Junior Young's tastes. "The Futura line combines the best of both effort and the former chemist technology," says Sharon and Bob Huxford, author of the Encyclopedia of Roseville Pottery collectors. Deco collectors, Roseville collectors, lovers of modernism, and designers and historians are all in competition to acquire the limited supply of the few remaining pieces Futura mark. With names such as balloon vase, bubble vase, vase Telescope, Spaceship Vase, Vase Star, Falling Bullet and Bomb, it is clear that the Futura line the size of the company reflects less than a year before Black Friday.

Prices

As with anything Roseville pottery prices can vary drastically. For example, I saw a Futura 9" Telescope Vase at The Helms Antique guild in Los Angeles priced at $795.00, which at the time I thought was high. A week later the same size and style vase sold for $1000.00 on eBay TM. In late 1999, I almost purchased this identical vase at the Rose Bowl swap Meet in Pasadena for $475.00.
Most mint condition pieces of RozaneWare and Rosecraft can fetch thousands of dollars. Scarcity, size and design, and age are determining pricing factors. The value of a piece increases if it bears the signature or initials of the artist.
My first suggestion is pricing or trying to sell your Roseville piece is NOT to go by book prices! If you are looking to get top dollar for your piece, consider putting your piece up for auction at eBay TM, the Pottery Auction, or similar auction site. Consigning a piece in an antique mall located in a metropolitan city may seem like a good idea, but often antique malls charge a monthly fee for shelf space AND take a 5 to 15% commission of all items sold. However, it requires no effort on your part, so if you're looking for a convenient way to sell, consigning your piece may be the best for you. Also, you may want to check the antique trade magazines, such as West Coast Peddler. There are often ads for dealers looking to buy anything made by Roseville.
If you are looking to buy a specific piece, check with honest and knowledgeable Roseville collectors (see the websites below). If they do not have the piece that you are looking for, dealers will often suggest where you may find it. Feel free with the pattern piece and your price range and I would happy to suggest Roseville dealers.

If it is declared by the owner that they are "not sure" if it is a fake or not, go with your gut feeling and think that it's a fake.
If you are looking at a piece in person, you can see that the color is often off, too boring. The tone is often whiter than genuine Roseville pottery and colors are very different from the real products.
