Although this blog has previously featured works by Roseville Pottery, one of America's most renown art potteries, this scarce example of the company's highly sought after Sunflower pattern has recently appeared in our trove. From the company's 1920s-30s era, the Sunflower pieces were originally marked only with paper labels, which washed or wore away over time. This popular pattern has even been featured on Antiques Roadshow.
Our example has sharp bas relief modeling with clear details and bright, clean coloring. Its flowing design and elegant lines would fit into any decor and the cheery sunflower motif would brighten any spot.
The vase has lost its original Roseville paper label, but there is no doubt as to the maker of this unique art deco-inspired pattern. This is a small hair-thin stress "star" on the bottom, but it does not affect the integrity of the piece and is not visible when the vase is displayed. We have taken this minor flaw into account, making this desirable vintage vase an even better bargain.
SOLD!
