Over 130 ceramic lines from the Roseville Pottery Company are listed and valued in this very inclusive guide. Arranged in alphabetical order, each line and its most common variations are listed and priced by line number. Among the categories featured are Early Velmoss, experimental pieces, Keynote, Lamps, Raymor Modern Artware, Rozane Royal, trial glaze pieces, and products not found in Roseville guides. This quick reference works well as a companion to the author's Introducing Roseville Pottery (newly revised and expanded for 2001). Listings for shapes illustrated in that book appear in boldface here, with page references. An invaluable "Index to Roseville Shape Numbers, c. 1916-1946," produced with the assistance of collector and researcher Lou Haggis, explains the factory's original shape numbering system. This will help collectors identify and date little-known Roseville shapes. Everyone interested in art pottery, American artware, or Ohio pottery will find this an essential reference.

A must for Roseville collectors and dealers,

This review is from: Introducing Roseville Pottery (Hardcover)
Mark Bassett's "Introducing Roseville Pottery" quickly became my favorite Roseville guide. It is comprehensive, easy to use, and the vases are beautifully photographed. Patterns are listed alphabetically, with years of production noted, along with a description of colors and shapes used, the shape numbers where applicable, and values. If there's any fault with this book, is that it does not give a value for every shape (though enough to give you an idea). However, it appears there is a paperback value guide on the way to fix that. There is also a wonderful chapter with photographs of various marks, signatures, and labels, as well as an appendix regarding reproductions and fantasy pieces. One caution to Roseville lovers, after an hour paging through this book at the real Roseville, you'll be picking out new patterns to pursue!

A book well worth buying and reading.,
This review is from: Introducing Roseville Pottery (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
I have read this book a number of times and find out something new each time. I find the book well thought out, well photographed, and very informative. I am especially confused about the review from July 2002 that claimed the book had no photos? My book has photos on every page.

This review is from: Introducing Roseville Pottery (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
This book is a great research tool but we would have appreciated more photos and a more comprehensive selection of values by piece.
