Roseville pottery is introduced, explained, examined, and surveyed in
this beautiful, sweeping guide. This revised and expanded edition
includes new research on Roseville shape numbers and terminology, as
published in Bassett's Roseville Prices. Over 860 color photographs
illustrate the many artistic products created by the Roseville Pottery
Company during its long life from 1890 to 1954. Arranged alphabetically,
each line and its most typical variations are presented, and each has
been meticulously researched and dated. The various ware types produced
for each line are enumerated. Previously unknown Roseville products are
documented--most notably Early Velmoss. Also included in the text are
discussions of experimental and trial glaze pieces, a glaze and shape
identification guide, a timeline of Roseville products, and an
examination of the company's factory marks and artist signatures.
Guidelines for building a collection and tips on collector's etiquette
round out the presentation. Values are provided for all of the items
displayed. Finally, a selected bibliography and an index are included.
