Roseville Pottery Pattern Identification and Value Guide

Roseville Blue Apple Blossom Basket
Morphy Auctions

The Roseville Pottery Company began producing utility lines more than 100 years ago in Roseville, Ohio. In 1898, the company moved to modern facilities in Zanesville, Ohio. They entered the art pottery market in the early 1900s to compete with manufacturers such as Rookwood Pottery.

Rozane marks were the earliest used by Roseville, and in most instances, those pieces are dark in coloring and plain in shape. Other marks include the early RV ink stamp and the more common Roseville U.S.A.

Collectors and dealers should also be aware of a number of Roseville reproductions on the market. These are usually obvious to those with pottery expertise.

Use the following slide show to help you identify Roseville patterns and get an idea about the value of your pieces.
