Roseville Pottery

This post is getting double duty.  I've already shared it for Vee's Note Card Party, using a few photos of Roseville pottery that found their way into my posts.

And now it's my entry for Claudia's Favorite Thing Saturday.  Claudia has several beautiful pieces of Roseville, so I think she's going to like this one (**


My love for Roseville started with a vase given to me by my sister, probably 40 years ago.  Back then, it wasn't hard to come by a nice piece for a fair price.


My collection comes in all shapes and sizes

 

and is sprinkled all over the house


Although Roseville Pottery was founded in 1890
my pieces are primarily from the 30's and 40's


My Favorite piece, by far, is this lime green
Apple Blossom Ewer.


Counting My Blessings,

  1. All are stunning and beautiful. I cannot afford them even half off at an estate sale these days.

  2. Oooh, you are so right. That ewer is a great piece. I have one treasured vase from Roseville. I think I might have told you earlier that it was Warren's Grandmother's. I love it!

  4. Isn't that another piece of Roseville on your sidebar? It's all so pretty. And I also love all the old books in the background.

  5. Hi Susy. This pottery is so beautiful. I've never seen any before and really like the blue bowl with the green grape leaves. These photos make great notecards. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment! Blessings, Pamela

  6. Somehow the link was taking everyone to last month's post. I have it fixed now and hope that people find your current post. I have some McCoy pieces, though no Roseville...yet. It's beautiful, isn't it? So stylized and with such rich colors and graceful lines. It looks perfectly at home with you!

  7. You have a wonderful collection of Roseville and I love how you have it scattered all over your house using it in so many different ways....I'd have a hard time deciding which is my favorite but I am definitely with you on the apple blossom ewer......Beautiful works of art..

  12. Susy, your collection puts my little one to shame. Your pieces are SO lovely. I can't get enough of your photos. You can post about your Roseville any old time!

    Thanks so much for joining in this week, my friend.

  15. Simply wonderful. My neighbor had Roseville and when she died none of her family wanted them. They did find a buyer and sold them for so much less than their worth. You have a great collection.

  17. Oh wow Susy, these pieces are incredible works of art.

    I don't know why but when you post, your notification is not coming up at times on my blog.

    I am missing you girl.

    Much love,
