Key Features
Highly collectible 'Wild Rose' pattern, desirable small/medium jardiniere size, classic Arts & Crafts/Art Deco transitional aesthetic, authentic raised relief design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authentic Roseville usually features a raised 'Roseville' mark with the shape number (651-4) on the bottom. Weight and detail of the floral relief are consistent with original production.
Flaws to Note
Look closely for 'flea bites' on the flower petals and handles, as these protrude and are prone to chipping. Check bottom for calcification from water usage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching national collectors), Etsy (good for vintage home decor shoppers), or a dedicated Art Pottery auction house if selling a large collection.
Selling Tips
Use keywords: 'Roseville 651-4', 'Wild Rose', 'Art Pottery', 'Jardiniere'. Take clear, high-resolution photos of the bottom mark and the interior. Offer excellent multi-layer bubble wrap packaging to ensure safe transit.
