The Roseville Pottery Company was founded in 1890. Roseville initially produced simple utilitarian ware such as flower pots, stoneware, umbrella stands, cuspidors, and limited painted ware. In 1900, Roseville Rozane became the first high-quality art pottery line produced by Roseville.

In 1904, Frederick Rhead became art director for Roseville pottery. Rhead was responsible for the production of scarce art pottery lines such as FudjiCrystalisDella Robbia, and Aztec. Roseville Pottery ceased operations in 1954. Throughout Roseville's days of production, its versatility and innovativeness served to keep the company at the forefront of the various decorating styles and buying public trends. Even to this day, Roseville pottery still represents the most widely known and most collectible art pottery ever produced.

Frequently Asked Questions

From the sculptural elegance of Roseville matte green pottery to Futura's bold lines and the intricate Pinecone florals, our collection highlights the most sought-after Roseville pottery patterns. These patterns consistently rank among collector favorites for their beauty, historic relevance, and exceptional craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking for a Roseville bud vase, a green umbrella stand, or a classic planter, you’ll find collectible shapes and patterns with unique stories and appeal.
Authentic pieces typically feature molded or impressed marks such as “Roseville U.S.A.” and a shape number. Roseville used a shape number system that includes both the form and size. For instance, a 616-6 refers to a 6-inch vase from shape 616. These numbers are typically found on the base and help date and categorize each piece. Earlier pieces may have paper labels or hand written numbers. Every item we offer is carefully vetted for genuine Roseville pottery markings.
Roseville pottery trial marks appear on experimental pieces, often used for glaze or shape testing. These are rare and collectible and hold special value among seasoned collectors.
Prices are influenced by rarity, condition, pattern popularity, and confirmed authenticity. Pieces with Roseville U.S.A. pottery stamps or trial glazes are usually more expensive. Highly sought-after lines like Pinecone, Futura, and Blackberry can have higher prices, especially in unusual forms like wall pockets, umbrella stands, or jardinieres. Entry-level collectors often start with popular lines like Bushberry or Freesia, which are more accessible.
Yes, it can. While Roseville pieces are often functional, regular use, especially with water or soil, can wear down the interior glaze or create stress cracks over time. We recommend using liners or displaying your vintage Roseville pottery dry to protect your investment. Preserved condition enhances both the aesthetic and resale value of collectible pieces.
