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.
