Roseville Montacello Pattern
The Roseville Montacello pattern originated in 1931. A small line – 16 shapes used once – with an American Southwest flavor. Four abstract floral designs decorate the top right and left, front and back. A wide band and two parallel and narrower bands encircle the top of the pots. Montacello pots are thicker than most other Roseville lines and, all, with the exception of the candleholders, have handles. The line has above average popularity, but below average availability. Numerous fakes have been found, but in fantasy shapes in brown and green. The abstract form is longer and wider on some fakes than the original.
Colors:
Tan with white, black, yellow, green and dark tan with splattered white overglaze and glaze runs and drips.
Aqua (called blue/green by some) with green, black, white and yellow with splattered white overglaze and glaze runs and drips.
