A new still life prop!

Roseville Vase
Isn't it fab? Found at an antique mall, it's an old Roseville vase that will eventually be incorporated into one of my still life paintings. Roseville made pottery here in Ohio from 1890 to 1954. It can pricey - but this one has a hairline crack in the back and a few dings-  so, I got it for a steal ($12!)   Doncha just love a bargain?

    What an interesting vase! I love those unexpected finds and even better when the price is right!

    You scored. My sister collects Roseville and she has never found such a great bargain even for one that is cracked. Great prop.

    Loved seeing your great find as I am painting freesias at the moment. They are so graceful from the side view like on your piece.
    Looking forward to seeing it in a painting

    I have Roseville-envy. Great find, look forward to the painting. I finally did a painting with a Barkcloth background, what fun!

    Oh, you will have such fun with that! I can just imagine how your patterns will interact with the design. I have quite a few Roseville and Roseville-era vases that I love painting! There is one on the home page of my website and another on the portfolio page: www.dorothylorenze.com.

    Holy cow Diane!- that's a lucky find! And it is lucky to find new life in one of it's new paintings....which will in turn go to a lucky new art collector some where...which will delight one of said collectors friends who visits & sees it... etc. It's fun to imagine the string of effects that this will have into the future!! Cool!
