Beautiful Early 1950s Roseville Pottery Pink Apple Blossom Long Bowl 329-10"

This 10" nominal length bowl is in the Apple Blossom pattern. The pattern shows irregular leafy apple branches, some of which form the handles, with clusters of white blossoms with pink centers and green leaves. The piece has a tear drop-shaped foot on the bottom and two small handles one on each end of the long dimension. This Roseville pattern was introduced in 1948 and was stopped in 1954. Please carefully view photos as they are part and parcel of our description.

Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a truly nice piece with rich, fresh, and vivid colors, which would display very well in your collection.
Condition: The piece is in very good condition with no cracks, hairlines, or repairs. The piece has general crazing to the glaze. The piece is lightly soiled and would probably benefit from a good cleaning, but we leave that to the new owner. The only thing we see is two small chips on the bottom of the foot of the piece, which we try to show in the 7th photo to the left of the foot. Be that as it may, this is great looking and would display nicely in your collection or as a decorative accent in your home. Please see photos for additional condition information.
