Nice dig to, it's definitely not often you find whole pitchers like that!                                                                   Willy (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 42

It was made mostly during the 1920s and 30s. If you find a rare piece you could be rich. I like the bottles you've dug better. The teapots are nice too. _____________________________ "Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission.

I use to have about fifteen pieces of it, but have sold it all off except for I believe one or two pieces. Had eight or ten pieces of the Rookwood, but only have one piece of that left, early piece, late 1800s. I have a Weller Popeye Dog and a Weller basket, truthfully I think the Weller is also quite unattractive except for some of the early pieces. For some reason, the Roseville Pottery is one of the most popular potteries out there, of course the Rookwood pottery I believe takes precedence over the Roseville and all others. Buyer beware concerning the Roseville, the original molds have been obtained by someone, and regretfully the market place is flooded with their reproduced garbage. Many of People have been taken quite badly with buying it. For that matter buyer beware on pretty much all potteries today, it seems there are now pieces being duplicated in all names, being someone keeps coming into possession of the original molds. Makes me sick every time I see a repop piece of pottery. I am sure that there are some of the Hull pieces being reproduced for sure, and who ever is doing it, have the colors of those patterns pretty much on the money, making it even harder to recognize. If anyone wants to collect pottery, get books on what you want to collect, and learn about it before you jump out there into buying it.   My Misses likes the Hull Pottery, that is what you see in the china cabinet, we have probably have again that much more of it. I like it myself as well, the colors are mostly soft as well as attractive. And I am with you George, I like the bottles better too !! I have posted a few pieces of the Roseville, Weller, and Rookwood below. < Message edited by L C -- 6/21/2007 3:08:04 AM > (in reply to Digger George) Post #: 45

I have yet to find a price quote on this piece, found it up front in a Rookwood price guide book with the story of what it was and that it had an experimental glaze on it, but it gave no price. Didn't show it at all in the pricing section of the book. Anyone have any info on the value of this item ??

Bad delivery, my mind goes faster than my fingers. I was wondering if the pottery in the picture LC posted at the end of page 2 was all Roseville. My wife loves that stuff, and I agree the best definition is "odd and over priced pottery."  But the Weller Popeye Dog is pretty cool, I like weird stuff like that.                                                                                                      Willy (in reply to L C) Post #: 51

Just make sure there are no cracks or any other damage, they have to be free of any damage at all. I sold the other I had for $325.00 about six years ago. Again, wish I had it back, liked the colors on it much better. (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 54
