The Roseville Pottery Company used many different
marks during its existence. The earliest marks
used by Roseville pottery were the die-impressed
Rozane marks and the wafer marks (Photo 1) associated
with the various Rozane patterns. In 1923, Roseville
pottery started using the blue ink stamp Rv
mark that is often seen on patterns such as Roseville
Carnelian I, Rosecraft Panel, Vintage, etc. (Photo

Roseville
pottery patterns produced between 1927 and
1935 were marked with only paper or foil labels
and sometimes with the corresponding shape number
and size. Roseville patterns with paper or foil
labels include such notable lines as Baneda, Blackberry,
Cherry Blossom, Falline, Futura, Jonquil, Monticello,
and Sunflower. (Photo 3).

| Photos 4 and 5 — Raised "Roseville USA" die-impressed trademarks |
In 1936, Roseville pottery started using the die-impressed trademark Roseville and the corresponding shape number and size in script. Beginning in 1940, Roseville pottery started marking pieces with the more commonly seen, raised Roseville USA along with the corresponding shape number and size. (Photos 4 and 5).
Roseville
pottery patterns such as Pinecone that was
produced over a long period of time often confuse
new Roseville pottery collectors, due to the variety
of marks used during the pattern's years of production.
For example, is possible to find Roseville Pinecone
either unmarked; marked with the die-impressed
trademark Roseville with the shape number and
size; or marked with the raised Roseville USA
along with the shape number and size.
