Until 1936, the shape numbers were seldom indicated on the actual pottery. Many can be found by studying the shape lists in Bassett's Roseville Prices and the catalog pages in Understanding Roseville Pottery and Jack and Nancy Bomm's Roseville in All Its Splendor. You can help! If you find a pair of Raymor Modern Artware bookends,
please contact Mark Bassett. (I'd like
to photograph them, in addition to recording the shape number.)
1 = Pine Cone
In 1936, Roseville began marking pieces with permanent (either impressed or raised) shape numbers. Examples from older lines that bear impressed or raised shape numbers were made in 1936 (or later). 3 = Thorn Apple
In 1947, Roseville introduced the first of several new shape numbering systems, none of which were as systematic as the system used between roughly 1916 and 1946. Shape number unknown = Raymor Modern Artware
