The low, rounded vessel is modeled with two applied handles and richly dimensional wisteria blossoms and trailing foliage in lavender-purple and soft green, set against a beautifully mottled blue, teal, ochre and earth-toned ground. The textured surface and softly variegated matte glaze give the piece the handcrafted character associated with vintage Roseville art pottery.

Its compact scale and sculptural silhouette make this an especially versatile piece for interior designers and decorators. Ideal as a decorative accent on a console table, bookshelf, cocktail table, credenza, mantel or styled étagère, it works particularly well in Art Deco, Arts and Crafts, American Craftsman, traditional, eclectic and collected contemporary interiors. The blue and green palette also makes it an attractive addition to layered ceramic and pottery collections.

The underside retains hand-applied numerical markings, including “242” and “13.” The form is commonly associated with Roseville Wisteria shape 242-4.
