Roseville Pottery Prices

I had the pleasure of attending a Midwest art pottery estate auction last weekend.  I don't have the opportunity to go to as many pottery auctions and shows as I used to so it was fun to get away and see the excitement of a live auction.

Overall prices were very strong for Roseville pottery.  Many patterns were selling well above current Roseville book prices and for whatever reason condition did not seem to be a factor in the prices collectors were willing to pay.   

Prices for middle period Roseville patterns such as Baneda, Futura, Luffa, Monticello and Sunflower were particularly strong.  Examples of a few Roseville pottery prices from the March 2007 auction include:

• Roseville Sunflower Vase 493-9" $1,600
• Roseville Blackberry Wall Pocket $1,425
• Roseville Baneda Vase 593-8" (Green) $1,250
• Roseville Victorian Art Vase 264-9" $1,000
• Roseville Ferella Vase 509-8" (Red) Small nick $1,200

Prices for later floral Roseville patterns such as Bushberry, Columbine, Magnolia, Ming Tree, and Wincraft were also strong.

What year was the Carnelian 11 produced? Was Fred Rhead the designer? Any more info on this would be helpful. Thank you!

Mark Bassett's Introducing Roseville Pottery indicates Carnelian II (Carnelian Glazes) was introduced between 1926 and 1928. Since Frederick Rhead left Roseville Pottery in 1908 he would not have been the designer. I am not sure who introduced this Roseville pattern. Hopefully one of our knowledgeable Roseville collectors can help us with that information. Any additional information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

thanks! I'll take a look at that book and a better look at your website.
