Hi guys,
Oh that Weller vase is really pretty, did it sell today? If not I’ll have to see it at your next event..
I’m the one who bought the Camark Iris bowl (which come to find that pattern comes in a LOT more shapes – ugh!)

Comment on Terrific Offering of Art Deco Inspired Roseville Pattern “Teasel” by robtpatrick

Hi Teresa,

Thank you for visiting our website BillyBlueEye.com. The vase that you describe is one that I have carried in our inventory on a couple of occasions.. The fan vase was created circa 1937-1943 by the Gladding McBean Company in Los Angeles under the Catalina Pottery name. GMB bought the rights, inventory and molds from Catalina Island Pottery in 1936 as the Island did not have enough clay to meet production demands and it was cheaper to produce the pottery in Southern California as opposed to shipping the clay to Catalina Island.

This vase on my estimation carries a book value of $115.00. The last one I had (December, 2010) sold for $95.00. Therefore your example would be valued in that range of $95 to $115. The color combination that you have is preferred by collectors although I believe that the same vase was created in coral/ivory and green/white combinations as well. I try to keep our Catalina Pottery page in the website current, so please let us know if we can help you expand your collection.

Thanks again for your inquiry and have a great weekend.

Michael

I bought a Catalina Pottery Fan Vase with the marking Catalina Pottery Made in USA stamped in ink and C-310 on bottom. It is turquoise on the inside and white on the outside. Could you give me an estimate of what this vase could be worth? It is in excellent shape with no flaws.
Thank you for you time.

Comment on Great Holiday Shopping Today at the Jamestown Vintage Flea Market in Tustin, CA. by Stephanie Spika

Hello, Michael — I was going through my saved shopping bags today and ran across the one you gave me when I bought the Van Briggle dragonfly console (in the rain– ! My dtr and I had so much fun that day). The sticker on your bag reminded me to check out your website, and so here I am, droolling on the monitor. I love the Baneda Roseville pieces you have posted; I’d never seen the pattern before. It’s just as well, since it is apparent that I can’t afford them, but oh, they are lovely. I will drop by your booth, ummm…just to look…. if I get to the next LB Antique Market. Stephanie
