Please keep in mind...   Roseville pottery was sold by the train-car load. If you have a piece of Roseville, join the club. Practically every household in the United States includes examples of this plentiful and attractive pottery. Mark does not purchase individual examples of Roseville by email.

REMINDER... Because he has no staff, Mark also can not identify by telephone or email the maker, value, or line name of any individual pot.
