I recently attended a large Roseville Pottery live auction in Indiana and was pleasantly surprised to see that prices seemed strong across the board for a wide variety of patterns. The auction contained many, many damaged and repaired pieces and mostly later floral patterns such as Apple Blossom, Silhouette, Magnolia, Bittersweet, etc. The number of higher quality, middle period Roseville patterns was limited. Still the auction was well attended and prices remained strong throughout the day.
A few of the auction results for mint condition pieces are noted below:
- Roseville Silhouette Red 710-10" Basket, $400
