The line of Roseville Pottery Vista was introduced in 1920.  Not surprisingly, it’s highly sought after and actually one of the more popular lines of Roseville Pottery, though it can sometimes be difficult to find- which naturally lends to the attraction.  One of more interesting aspects of this line is courtesy of the artists; those efforts lend to a certain dimension at first glance, almost as though you’re looking straight through the piece.  This was achieved by varying heights with the glazing efforts along the bottom of the pieces.

Its theme includes bodies of water and palm trees in semi-gloss hues.  Gray, green, purple and blue are commonly found and the ivory backgrounds are perfect for contrasting.  Most of Roseville Vista is unmarked, however, there does exist pieces with blue inkstamps that provide only the shape number and size.  If you’re wondering where the Vista line falls in reference to the other lines, it was released after Roseville Rozane, but before Roseville Rosecraft was released.  It holds its own between those two remarkable lines.

Another unique feature on Roseville Pottery’s Vista is the gray or pewter appearance that’s found along the necks of some of its vases and umbrella stands.  It provides a certain elegance that works well with the colors and glazes.  If you’re a fan of this line, you know the many shapes and sizes that were afforded Roseville Vista.  Umbrella stands, baskets of various shapes and sizes and of course, the many vases – including one 10” vase with handles on either side.  It’s simply beautiful.  That said, there is also a Roseville Vista fern dish and at least a few hanging baskets, too.

If you’re fortunate enough to own any of these pieces, odds are, you know how valuable it likely is.  And if you are one of those lucky folks, send us a photo – we’d love to see what you have!  Finally, don’t forget to friend us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter!
