About Roseville Pottery
The
Roseville Pottery Company was founded in 1890. Roseville
initially produced simple utilitarian ware such

and limited painted ware. In 1900, Roseville Rozane
became the first high quality art pottery line produced
by Roseville. More Below
Roseville pottery introduced Pinecone in 1935. Pinecone became the most successful and highest volume pattern produced during the existence of Roseville pottery. The pattern includes over 75 different shapes in blue, brown, and green.
World War II necessitated another production change for Roseville pottery. During this time period, Roseville introduced such patterns as Fuchsia, Cosmos, Columbine, White Rose, Bittersweet, and Zephyr Lily. While these patterns were still the best quality art pottery in the market at this time, it was not enough to save the company. Roseville Pottery ceased operations in 1954.
Throughout Roseville's days of production, its versatility and innovativeness served to keep the company at the forefront of the various decorating styles and buying public trends. Even to this day,Roseville Pottery still represents the most widley knowen and the most desirable and collectible pottery ever produced.
