"Rare" 1938 Roseville Pottery Blue Fuchsia Pattern 3” High Urn-shaped Jardinière
Description: A most beautiful and rather rare blue colored art pottery vase by the Roseville Pottery Company. This round and squat (~3 1/2" high) jardiniere, with two small and delicate handles near the top, is in the fuchsia pattern. The pattern shows small hanging pink flowers and large heart-shaped leaves on a blue and white colored background. The background is partially smooth and partially textured. Just a great and rather rare pattern. This pattern was made by the Roseville company in 1938. Please carefully review the photos presented as they are part and parcel of our description.
Date: 1938.
Origin: Purchased at an estate auction in Southeastern Pennsylvania. It was of course made in Roseville, Ohio
Size: The piece measures ~4 3/4" wide with the base being ~2 1/2" in diameter and is ~3 1/2" in height. The top of the jardiniere is ~3 3/4" in diameter with the piece weighing about 12 ounces.
Maker: Roseville Pottery Company.
Marks: The piece has a very faint impressed mark, which we recognize as "Roseville 645-3". This is the way these old pieces of Roseville are supposed to be. See similar example of vase with a faint impressed mark in page 118 of Mark Moran's book "Roseville Pottery, Warman's Companion" published by Krause Publication in Iola, WI, in 2006.
Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a truly nice and rare piece which is very difficult to come by. The colors are rich, fresh, and vivid and the pattern is crisp. It would display very well in your collection.
Condition: The piece is in very good condition after being around for over 85 years. It has no cracks, hairlines, chips, or repairs. It does have general crazing to the glaze, which is very difficult to see but is there. The pattern is just beautiful and very well done. This is a hard piece to find in such good condition. Please see photos for additional condition information.
