This Roseville Pottery 1002-7" bud vase is extremely rare. Perhaps it was intended for a line like Capri or Wincraft. No other example of the shape is known to me, although two examples of the #1001 (ca. 1940) "tulip" vase appear on page 195 of my book UNDERSTANDING ROSEVILLE POTTERY. Both are Limited Production shapes, instead of an Experimental, as the latter term usually applies to unique, hand-carved examples. ...click for details
This Roseville Royal Capri 555-6" cornucopia is in outstanding condition. Rare line to locate, although George Krause loved it and had several examples, which I am selling on consignment.
This piece is from the George Krause collection and bears a sticker to that effect. Krause was Roseville's glaze chemist between 1919 and 1954. ...click for details
This Roseville Pottery 4.25" Mid-Century Modern decorated stein is an extremely rare hand-painted example.

This Roseville Pottery Wincraft 222-8" art deco cornucopia has an atypical clay body--more like china clay than the usual buff color. This made the colors brighter, and the piece weighs a little less than usual too. For details of the trial glaze process, see my book UNDERSTANDING ROSEVILLE POTTERY, which illustrates a number of pieces from George Krause's personal collection. ...click for details
This Roseville Pottery Teasel 886-9" art deco vase bears trial glaze notations, but is also faintly marked "original." That means that Roseville's executives probably approved this particular glaze combination for production as the rust variation of Teasel. For details of the trial glaze process, see my book UNDERSTANDING ROSEVILLE POTTERY, which illustrates a number of pieces from George Krause's personal collection. ...click for details
