This is the time of year when just walking outdoors energizes us. Those changing leaves, the crisp air and the anticipation of the upcoming holiday season are enough to draw us from the sofa for a bit of well spent time outside. With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at some of the many lines of Roseville Pottery for those fall or autumn inspired themes. Take a look and see if any of these are among your Roseville favorites:
Roseville “Autumn” – This line of Roseville Pottery was introduced in 1910. With more of a practical approach to its style, these pieces incorporate fall sunsets with exquisite colors of golds, oranges and browns. Each piece from the Autumn collection incorporates tree decals and river scenes. While most of these pieces are unmarked, there are examples that have die impressed numbers. It’s a beautiful collection that offered approximately 15 shapes.
Nothing says fall weather better than pumpkins, which is the theme used on the Roseville Baneda Line, introduced in 1932. The two common denominators in this line is the green background that is a lovely contrasting choice for the vines of pumpkins and pumpkin flowers found on each piece. These pieces were marked with paper labels, so there’s a good chance any Baneda piece you find will be unmarked. That said, you may discover crayon shape numbers.
The Roseville Sylvan line may not inspire scenes from fall at first glance, but it’s the first thing I thought of, especially with the tendency to incorporate maple leaves and hunting dogs. Plus, the oranges, deep reds and golds really pull it together for a more “fall-ish” feel. This line was introduced in 1916 and interestingly, was the first line released under Frank L.D. Ferrell’s term as art director. Those in the Sylvan line are unmarked and it’s believed there are 25 various shapes.
These are just a few of our favorite autumn-inspired Roseville Pottery themes. Have some of your own? Drop us a line – we’d love to hear your story!
