roseville egypto

Egypto (Rozane Egypto) is an early period pattern introduced by Roseville Pottery in 1905. The standard color is matte green, and at least 7 of the shapes are borrowed from Chloron. Egypto was marked with Egypto wafers, and pieces that do not have a wafer are most likely Early Matt Green. Arts and Crafts collectors avidly seek Egypto shapes. There is no documentation for the exact number of Egypto shapes, but there are 39 known shapes. The 1905 and 1906 catalogs show vases fern dishes, ewers, pitchers, oil lamps, and baskets.
