Roseville Pottery

[1] Under the direction of Young, the Roseville company had great success producing stoneware flower pots and other practical household items.

[2] In 1900 Young hired Ross C. Purdy to create the company's first art pottery line, named Rozane (a contraction of "Roseville" and "Zanesville").

[7] Marina Bosetti, a ceramic artist in Raleigh, North Carolina, has been contracted to produce limited-edition tiles in the Art Nouveau style for the company.

Today, many Roseville styles remain relatively common while rare pieces can fetch hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Because Roseville's designs were so influential, replicas and counterfeits are common, and the wide variety of kiln markings—or the lack thereof—on genuine pieces can be confusing for collectors.
