This vase has a classic urn-like shape with two distinctive, angular handles extending from the rim to the upper body. The vase beautifully showcases the interplay between its sculptural magnolia motif and the varied matte glazes. Standing out against the earthy green leaves and brown background, creating a soft, naturalistic depth are the large cream colored magnolia blossoms. These flowers have a three dimensional quality, enhancing their visual impact and delicate texture of petals. The Roseville Magnolia terra cotta vase 91-8 is a vintage American art pottery piece produced around 1943 as part of the company’s “Late Line”. This beautiful vase measures 8 1/2” tall by 11 1/2” wide and is in great condition. See less
