Beautifully illustrated history, based on new research...

Understandinging Roseville Pottery

... includes shapes, factory ads, rarities, and catalog pages not found in any other book!

Mark Bassett is still working to match up known Roseville shapes with their factory shape numbers. These examples of Sunflower and Tuscany (above left) do not appear in the factory pages, but only the shape number of the oval Tuscany bowl is still unknown!

This new book shows how factory shape numbers and publications can be studied to date specific products. Several of the Creamware (Juvenile) pieces shown here (above right) are believed to be either Limited Production or Experimental.

For the first time, a detailed discussion and numerous closeup photographs explain Roseville's ongoing glaze research and experiments with form and design. Shown here are representative Trial Glaze pieces (above left) and Experimental pieces (above right). Shown in black and white (bottom right) is the 1924 hand-made porcelain couple by Adelaide Alsop Robineau (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art) that inspired the Roseville line Ferella!
