Roseville Pottery produced art pottery from 1890 until 1954. Originally printed in 1976, this book was the first. It has been continuously updated resulting in sales of over 120,000 copies. The Huxfords have joined with Mike Nickel, one of the countrys best known authorities on Roseville, who has contributed his expertise to this new edition to offer our readers more in-depth information than ever before. Shape numbers and original company information have been added, and the pricing structure has been extensively elaborated, giving not only values for items pictured, but also for all colors and sizes for each known style and shape. The informative text has been expanded, bringing insight and background that have come to light since 1976. Almost 150 color photos and over 60 vintage advertisements and catalog pages showcase the more than 800 pieces, and essential information such as size, shape numbers, glazes, and marks is included. Special sections on factory marks and artist signatures combined with a useful index make this the ultimate reference for collectors.
This two volume set of the Collector's Encyclopedia of Roseville has also been revised and updated to more accurately represent today's market activity. In this revised edition you will find some of the best examples of the early art ware ever produced, exceptional pieces in the early Blended Glaze, and a fine representation of the Middle Period lines such as Futura, Imperial, and Pine Cone, to name a few. The highly desirable pieces, jardinieres, pedestals, and umbrella stands are featured, as well as more than 140 wall pockets, all shown in full color. There are over 250 color photographs and 85 vintage catalog pages and advertisements showcasing over 2,800 pieces of pottery. Together with the first volume, this book gives new and seasoned collectors all the necessary information for identification of Roseville Pottery.
