Story
In 1928, the world was obsessed with the 'future,' and Roseville Pottery captured that zeitgeist with a line that looked like nothing else on the market.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1890, Roseville initially made utilitarian stoneware before moving into the 'art pottery' market to compete with giants like Rookwood.
Condition & Value
The piece appears to be in good vintage condition with the glaze remaining vibrant and the 'mottled' effect well-distributed. Futura is one of the most sought-after Roseville lines by collectors.
