Roseville Futura Flying Saucer Console Bowl
This dramatic “Flying Saucer” console bowl (shape 195-10) is among the most iconic and sought-after forms in the Roseville Futura line. Produced in 1928, it features a sleek Art Deco silhouette with rich mottled glaze. A true statement piece for collectors of American Deco pottery.
Van Briggle 1930's Mulberry Despondency Vase
One of Van Briggle’s most iconic and emotionally charged forms, “Despondency” features a sculpted figure with bowed head and draped body, modeled in deep relief against the vase’s body.

An evocative embodiment of early 20th-century Symbolist design, it remains a cornerstone for collectors of American art pottery.
