The other day a new Roseville pottery collector asked, "Why does the exact same shape Roseville pinecone vase sell for so much more when it is blue than when it is green?" Over the years we have been dealing in Roseville pottery, we have always seen price variations between the different colors in particular Roseville patterns. 
In general terms, blue has enjoyed status as a long-standing favorite color among many Roseville collectors. As a result, prices for Roseville vases in what the current marketplace considers more desirable colors are often higher than prices realized for other colors in a particular pattern. For example, on average a Roseville Wisteria vase in blue sells for 40 to 60% more than a vase in similar condition in brown. A Roseville Baneda vase in green will typically see a similar value premium compared with the same vase in pink. Other middle period Roseville pottery patterns that experience similar price premiums for the preferred color include:
- Roseville Carnelian II (red is valued higher than green/blue)
- Roseville Cherry Blossom (pink is valued higher than brown)
- Roseville Falline (blue is valued higher than brown)
- Roseville Ferella (red is valued higher than brown)
- Roseville Laurel (green is valued higher than red and yellow)
- Roseville Morning Glory (green is valued higher than white)
- Roseville Windsor (blue more highly collected than brown)
It is important to note that as collector interests and decorating styles and taste change so do the preferred colors for Roseville and other art pottery. For example, over the last decade Roseville pinecone was substantially higher valued in the blue color than in brown or green. However, over the last couple of years, prices for Roseville brown pinecone have risen to levels equal to blue.
Linda,
The basket is Roseville Bushberry. The Bushberry pattern is very collectible. Bushberry was introduced in 1941.
Thanks,

I have a Roseville Vase U.S.A. 141-15″ on the bottom of it. It is blue. What do you think I can get for it?
Your vase is from the Zephyr Lily Roseville pattern. In mint condition, the vase would be worth about $300 to $500.

I have 2 pinecone jardineers(green)from my mother so I know they were made prior to 1943 when I was born… after that she was broke! The small one has a 4″mouth, 3″base, 4.5″ tall and about 7″ wide. It’s perfect and lovely – the handle is part of the branch and there are 2 pine cones reaching each other in the back. The number is 278-4 and there are 2 initials in blue glaze. Value?
Do you know where I can have Roseville repaired? The 2nd piece is larger: 8″mouth, 5″base, 8″tall and 9″wide. It has 2 cones together with a raised branch handle and a 3rd cone on the other side. The number is 632-7. It also has 2 intials in blue, BUT it needs a lot of repair: 1 chip on the base, 1 chunk (V shaped and dime sized) out of the lip where it appears that a 2nd raized branch with 3 points of attachment was broken off.
I realize that it might cost me more than it’s worth to have it professionally fixed. Any advice?

Hello. I am thinking about selling an original Blue Magnolia Bowl, 448-8, that I purchased at an auction several years ago. It appears to me to be in great shape with no chips or cracks. What would its approximate value be? Thanks!
Hello, again. I also have what I believe to be a green Snowberry Console, 1BL1-10. What is its approximate value? Thanks.

Hello Greg,
A couple of years ago I purchased a pair of vases from the estate of actor Jack Palance (he lived a couple of miles from me in PA). The pieces were advertised as “french vases” but upon closer inspection, to my surprise, they were signed Roseville on the bottom.
The vases are large (23″ high), at least 20 lbs. apiece, in a yellow glaze with a white overglaze on the top half of them. Although difficult to ascertain, I believe the letters “RBOO” are inscribed on the bottom of the vases, as well as the Roseville signature. They are in super condition with no visible scratches, cracks or chips. Can you tell me anything about them?
Thank you, Ron
P.S. I know that Jack enjoyed them because they were displayed in the living room of his PA farmhouse with peacock feathers.
Ron,
I would have to see a photo to be sure but the pieces sound like Robinson Ransbottom Pottery which was located in Roseville, Ohio but was unrelated to Roseville Pottery.
