Roseville c. 1915-1931 "Carnelian II" 8" Fan Vase Mold # 54-8 $340.00 SOLD

We bought our first Roseville vase twenty-eight years ago in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at an Antique Barn just off the tollway. It was on a whim as we hadn’t planned on stopping or shopping on our way home to Chicago. The vase,  a Snowberry Urn, to this day stands proudly on our fireplace mantel joined by fifteen other Roseville treasures. We paid all of $25.00 for it and at the time that was a lot of money. But it has given us many years of pleasure by showcasing countless hand-picked bouquets from the gardens we have tended.

To this day each time I purchase a Roseville vase, console or candle holder something inside of me is stirred. Sometimes it’s an appreciation of the design lines, other times a sense of awe at the way Roseville was able to capture the beauty of so many floral gifts of nature. A sense of time in history is often stirred by a particular pattern: the simplicity of the Arts & Crafts period shown in the Green & Color Matte series of vases or the right-on-target Art Deco expressions in the Futura Line. I suppose it is for these reasons that Roseville has become my benchmark for evaluating all other pottery. I suppose that it is the reason that Billy Blue Eye proudly offers such a wide selection of Roseville Pottery at the monthly Flea Markets in Long Beach, California.
