For Sale I have an Outstanding Piece of Art Pottery made by the Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is "Ferella" and it is a Tall Double Handled Vase. The Vase stands 9 1/4" tall and is 6 1/4" in diameter. This Pattern is one of Roseville's most desirable and hardest to obtain. The Vase displays a Wonderful Matte Mottled Brown Glaze. This Vase has some of the strongest mottling I have ever seen in a Ferella piece. It also displays small window cut outs ( Reticulated) that are square and arch shaped Surrounding the top of the Vase along with Arched Shaped with a Point Windows surrounding the bottom. They are accented by small clusters of Tall Stemmed Flowers. The stems are green with beige colored flowers. The Bottom edge has an almost Black Mottled Glaze Ring. The Vase has two Applied Handles extending from the neck down to the outer waist of the vessel. They are Graceful and fit the Vase well. This is one of the most difficult pieces of Art Pottery to make because of all the cut-outs. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no Cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The only issue is really nothing as the underside bottom rim has a small indent in the clay with a line. This is not damage as it is Factory and was clearly made this way. The piece is unmarked and more than likely had a Paper Label at one time. Those of you who collect Roseville Ferella know exactly what you are looking at. This is known as shape number 510-9 in the Roseville Pottery Catalog Pages and Considered to be a Rare Size to find. This Vase was made Circa 1931 during the Great Depression and was by Far the most Popular Roseville Pattern at that time. This pattern was named after Frank Ferella who was the top designer for Roseville during this period. There are only 24 Shapes in this Reticulated Art Deco Line. This is a Hand Carved Vase and I would consider it a Masterpiece in its own right. Those of you who collect Brown "Ferella" and want a Superb Example do not let this one slip by you. I'm sure the Buyer will be delighted with their purchase.
