Collectibles Corner - Roseville Pottery

The iconic Roseville Pottery company of Ohio manufactured both utility ware and art pottery for 64 years, from 1890 to 1954. They produced a huge variety of styles, shapes, and patterns, which translates into a line that was just made for collecting - ask any of the thousands of Roseville enthusiasts out there today!


Along with it's beauty and variety, Roseville Pottery also offers a wide range of prices so that most collectors can find pieces that fit within their budget. Rarity and condition play into the pricing as with most collectibles, so if your budget is small, focusing on more common patterns and shapes, or pieces with small imperfections, will allow you to add to your collection. If your budget is larger, you can hold out for rarer items and items in only the best condition.


Roseville Pottery has been being reproduced in China over the last decade or so - if you are looking to add to or start a collection, it is important to keep informed about what patterns are being reproduced and how they are being marked.
