Nola.com reports that on June 27, 2009 Neal Auction obtained a world record price for a 1904 Newcomb College high glaze pottery vase. The vase is 13" tall and decorated with incised design of jackmanii climbing
clematis in blue, green and yellow underglaze by Maria de Hoa LeBlanc. The pre-sale estimated price for the vase was between $35,000 to $50,000. The final selling price including the buyer's premium was an amazing $169,200. The previous record sale price for a Newcomb College vase was $108,400 in 2006.
The auction house noted "LeBlanc's vase is an outstanding example of Newcomb pottery for several reasons, including the large size, the unusual and deeply carved climbing clematis motif and a flawless, high-gloss glaze." Photo from Nola.com and Neal Auction.

We often get questions from Roseville pottery collectors trying to identify a pattern name by the shape number on the bottom of their vase. We now have an online resource to provide some assistance to Roseville collectors in matching up shape numbers with a pattern name.
It is definitely still a work in progress, but collectors can now browse the majority of the documented shape numbers for each Roseville pattern. Look here for the index of shape numbers for Roseville pottery patterns.
To review Roseville pottery marks, in 1936, Roseville began using a die-impressed Roseville and the corresponding shape number and size in script. For example Roseville 747-10 would refer to a Roseville Pinecone vase that would be approximately 10" in height.
Beginning in 1940, the pottery started marking pieces with a raised Roseville USA mark along with the corresponding shape number and size. Earlier middle period Roseville produced between 1927 and 1935 would have been marked with only paper or foil labels and sometimes with the corresponding shape number and size in red or black crayon.

Now Roseville Pottery collectors can shop Just Art Pottery for their favorite pattern without having to browse
through patterns you may not be interested in. Links to the new categories are below. We have maintained the same grouping for patterns A-E, F-L, M-R and S-Z but if you go to the pattern name you will find specific categories for every Roseville Pottery pattern.
The Pinecone Modern pattern was introduced by Roseville Pottery in 1953. The pattern included 51 shapes
including baskets, bowls, planters, vases, ect. The easiest way to identify the Roseville Pinecone Modern pattern is by the shape number. All Pinecone Modern pieces are in the 400 series. Roseville chose to renumber the Pinecone Modern pattern even though numerous shapes were reissues from the identical, original Roseville Pinecone line introduced in 1935.
Most Pinecone collectors actively seek the 400 series Modern pieces with the same level of interest as original Pinecone. In fact, many collectors find the green version of Pinecone Modern more attractive than the original green pinecone primarly because of more vivid coloring and less glaze runs and drips with the later version.
Due to the short period of production for Pinecone Modern, many of the 400 series shapes are harder to find that the original forms. Roseville produced Pinecone Modern from 1953 until the factory was sold in the summer of 1954.
Pinecone Modern is marked with the raised molded Roseville USA mark and with the shape number and size. Some examples are also marked with a die-impressed or raised "Pine Cone". Examples of some of the variations of bottom marks are shown below.
