For sale is a very nice piece of art pottery made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The pattern is called "Luffa" and the shape is a vase. The vase is a nice cabinet size as it stands 6 1/4" tall and is 4" in diameter at its widest point at the bottom. The inside opening is 2 1/8" wide inside top lip measurements. The vase depicts a tropical flower on a terrace like effect with large tropical leaves crossing over the terrace. The colors are warm and are done in earth tones. The background is a pleasing matte brown mix. The flowers are done in a creamy white with yellow centers. The large vertical hanging tropical leaves are a softer pastel teal green. This design is on both sides of the vase. The top neck is a deeper brown than the bottom 2/3. The inside neck is a semi gloss sage green. The vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no chips, cracks, nicks or dings. The piece is not signed but it a well documented Roseville pattern. It has the letters "D and L" incised with a "9 and 1" written in a blue grease pencil. This is more than likely the finisher's marks. This pattern has eluded me for years and this is only my 4th piece. This is known as shape number 684-6" in the Roseville Pottery "Luffa" pattern line. This vase was made circa 1934 and considered a middle period line with Roseville Pottery collectors.
