Roseville Clematis Cornucopia Vase 193 6 Appraisal

Roseville Clematis Cornucopia Vase 193-6"

This is a vintage Roseville Pottery cornucopia vase from the Clematis line, introduced in 1944. The piece stands approximately 6 inches tall and features an asymmetrical, scrolling architectural form. It is finished in a vibrant teal-green textured glaze that transitions into a lighter, earthy tan toward the interior rim. The central focal point is a large, hand-painted relief carving of a Clematis blossom, rendered in creamy white with a soft yellow center, flanked by trailing green leaves. The base is an integrated rectangular plinth, while the rear features a distinct angular 'wing' or handle-like element typical of the late Art Deco style influence. The craftsmanship is indicative of Roseville's mid-century production, characterized by heavy clay construction and a matte glaze finish. The provided context indicates this is shape number 193-6", which would typically be marked on the bottom with a raised relief 'Roseville U.S.A. 193-6' stamp. The visible condition appears good, with no overt cracks or major chips seen on the exterior surface, though minor shelf wear on the base and fine crazing in the glaze would be typical for a piece of this age. The colors remain saturated and the mold crispness is high quality.
