Last weekend as I was thinking that I really need to start blogging regularly again, I decided that in conjunction with Just Art Pottery’s 10 year business anniversary I would develop a top 10 list once a week between now and the end of July.
This week’s top 10 list is the most popular Roseville Pottery patterns. I’m basing this list on our Roseville pottery sales at JustArtPottery.com and a general evaluation of our customers’ want lists. The top 10 list isn’t intended to represent the most expensive Roseville patterns or the rarest Roseville pottery but just what we see as the most popular in terms of sales volume.
1. Roseville Sunflower – Historically Sunflower has been one of the more popular Roseville pottery patterns. In the 1990s an interior decorating magazine featured a home decorated with examples of Roseville Sunflower vases and bowls. Prices and interest soared to even higher levels and since then it has remained one of the most sought after patterns by pottery collectors.
2. Roseville Pinecone – Many Roseville experts feel the highly collected Pinecone pattern was vital in keeping the pottery in existence during the late 30s and early 1940s. The middle period Pinecone line was so popular that it was reintroduced in 1953 and appears to have been produced until the company was sold in 1954. Both blue and brown Pinecone are highly sought after by Roseville collectors.
3. Roseville Baneda – The arts and crafts look of green Baneda makes it a favorite pattern for many Roseville pottery collectors. While both pink and green Baneda have their followers, there is more interest in green.
4. Roseville Bushberry – Over the last several years we have seen a dramatic increase in interest in this Mid-Century Modern pattern. Both green and blue have strong collector interest and even brown has its followers in today’s pottery market.
5. Roseville Ferrella – Roseville collectors have long been drawn to the exceptional art deco style of brown and red Ferrella vases and their narrow carved border and piercings. This Roseville pattern is considered scarce and usually sells very well particularly when found in the red color.
6. Roseville Rosecraft Vintage – This middle period Roseville pattern has a strong following from both arts and crafts collectors and those that appreciate the Art Nouveau style. Vases in green are hard to find and tend to sell rapidly.
7. Roseville Futura – The Futura pattern is so popular with art deco pottery collectors that most vase and bowl designs have been given their own specific nicknames. In addition, with the various geometric art deco shaped vases and diverse color schemes there is something that fits any decorating style or decor.
8. Roseville Blackberry – This middle period Roseville pattern has been a collector favorite for many years. Prices have stabilized in the last year or so but demand remains high for the larger vases, candlesticks, bowls, and wall pockets.
9. Roseville Laurel – The Laurel pattern is very decorative because of its arts and crafts look. This middle period Roseville pattern is available in yellow, green and red. All three colors have growing collector interest. It is very likely that in the relatively near future prices for green Laurel will approach the prices paid for green Baneda.
10. Roseville Fuchsia – The bold colors and traditional styling give this pattern the classic Roseville vase look. Over the last ten years, Roseville Fuchsia has continued to maintain a broad appeal to collectors. While blue is still the favored color, you can find Roseville collectors for both brown and green.
Wow! My first top ten list and to think I was considering trying to do one of these every day for the month. I still think I can get one a week.

I was given a roseville apple blossom console bowl, 333-14, and I can not find a value on it. Can anyone help me with this???
I have a piece of Roseville USA but, I don’t know what it is used for. it looks like a vase but has hols all the way through the bottom. I can e-mail pictures. It looks like a magonolia flower and is green with some pink.
If anyone knows what this is used for please let me know.
Can anyone please tell me the design/pattern NAME and AGE of this stunning, Roseville Ewer, #218 – 18″? It is a lovely chartreuse color complemented with a sponged, brown bowl. It is entirely coated with a milky, powder-blue, high-gloss glaze and the only PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL, Roseville example I have ever seen. There is a single acorn to each side of the base of the handle and a huge, oak leaf that wraps around the bowl. Thank you, in advance! Retired Nurse
Sheila,
Your Roseville ewer is from the Wincraft pattern.

Dale,
We have some collectors of Roseville green pinecone. Let me know what pieces you have and the condition and we can give you a price for them.
Thanks,
Greg
We are selling my mother’s house contents and came across Roseville Pottery console bowl and matching candlesticks. They are dusty pink with green leaves and white flowers. She received them as a wedding gift in 1939. We do not know the pattern name. Can anyone tell me the name and their approximate value? Thank you.
I have several roseville pieces. I am having trouble finding how much they are worth.examples: ewers 15-15,and 22-6. Vases 139-12, 60-7, and 111-10. Basket 372-12. Pocket 987-9. Cornucopia 144-8. Bowls 668-5 and 1327. Cookie Jar 3-8. These are all in excellent condition and the color green. Can someone help me please
I have a 19-1/2″ pedestal, 10″ pot, high glaze, chocolate, raised roses (i think)in orange, rust, dull yellow. No signature anywhere. Suppose to be Roseville Rozanne. How in the world would I prove it?
Thanks.
Beverly,
Many company made standard glaze pottery so unless the Jardiniere or Pedestal is marked or you can find the shape in a reference book it is very hard to with 100% certainly identify the maker.
Thanks,
Greg
I have a brown bud vase shaped pinecone vase that I inherited from my aunt. I remember seeing it in her home in the early 40’s, but the vase could date to the 30’s.
The vase with a touch of green at the top inside does not have a Roseville marking on the bottom, but it does have a numeral 6 or 9 on the bottom. It may have had a paper label that got lost over time.It stands about seven and a half inches tall.It has the pinecone, stem and needle handle on one side only. How do I verify the authenticity?
My fiance’ has a set that consists of a teapot, creamer, & a sugar bowl. The pattern is zephyr lily & it is blue. We were wondering about its collectibility & something of its value.
I have a small Roseville vase in mint condition that I cannot identify. It is 6″ tall color is orange that fades to green at the bottom . Small handle on one side looks like a small slender pitcher.The design has 2 etched out acorns on a branch in relief on the front and back it makes you thnk of Autumn signed on the bottom Roseville U.S.A. 716-6″also looks like the letter D in black ink,maybe artists signature?Also a small 6 above the Roseville
I recently found a roseville window box style pc. that has geranium flowers and leaves on it. It is a high gloss in greenish yellow and green leaves. Can anyone tell me about this pc. I can’t find it in any catalogs. I was told by one antique mall that it was not mass produced. Also I am interested in the value.
I’m trying to find a value for a Roseville clematis pitcher. It is about 16 inches tall. I have found pictures of many other clematis pieces on the net, but nothing like this one. It is a slender elegant pitcher w/ a tall pour spout. Is it rare?
I have a Blue Magnolia Teapot w/ lid. It is is mint condition without any visable flaws. Will be willing to sell if the price is right.
I have a few pieces of Roseville I’d like to sell, but can’t find a price for them. Can anyone tell me their worth?

I just purchased a 3 1/2 inch crock-like container. Basic tan color with a 1/2 inch rim on top. Signs of use: slight discoloration inside on the bottom extending about 1 inch up the side—also the surface in this area doesn’t feel as smooth. The bottom has: Roseville, Ohio U.S.A. R.R.P. Co. 1 pt. low — printed on it.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Debbie
Debbie,
Your pottery piece is Robinson Ransbottom Pottery which was produced in Roseville Ohio. It is often confused with Roseville Pottery but it is totally unrelated.
