Comment on Roseville Pottery – Damage and Restorative Efforts by Bob

Nine times out of ten I’d pass on piece that has a defect, unless it’s a rare and unusual piece or I just love the piece. In my earlier purchases I didn’t pay as much attention to quality as I do now and felt I was probably take advantage more than once. I always appreciate a seller that provides full disclosure and will also take that into consideration on purchasing.

Did Weller make covered casserole dishes set in silver trays with black wood handles. I have collected three different styles. Two of these dishes are clearly marked WELLER on the bottom. All three dishes are a brown in colour but i have seen one in a lovely green.

Sometimes I think defects in pots can make them more desirable and unusual. Damage is just something that happens by accident, its a shame that pieces cant be appreciated for their beauty alone.

Thanks for the essay. I operate a small antiques and collectibles restoration studio (www.theastlefordstudio.com) and find that collectors are always willing to have their pottery restored if the rates affordable. Good restoration work should be invisible to the naked eye but a blacklight will always catch the repairs. As you mentioned in the article, the repairs are reversible if the pottery collect opts to go back to an original state. All in all, I’d say most collectors prefer to restore damaged pottery.

Hi,

For the life of me I cannot find a complete list of Rookwood artists. I am looking for one with a last name that begins with an A and who worked on Rookwood in 1903.

Thanks!

I love your website also. I purchased a vase with roseville 63-12″ handwritten on the bottom. I do not think it is roseville. It is a very beautiful cream or ivory color with cherubs on each side with large handles. It is 131/2″ tall and very heavy. I did not see anything on your website that looked like this. I need help to identify this piece. THANKS
