Perfect as only Roseville can be… No description needed, I think everyone should know what the name. A piece of the rim has been repaired. See pictures. Cosmos was introduced in 1939. Approx. 3 ½" tall X 4 ½" diameter handle to handle 1940 was the year for spectacular artistic efforts, whether in film or American art pottery. Roseville Cosmos offers three base colors, blue, brown & green. While many are drawn to those green hues, blue seems to be the color of choice & has been for many years. It could be the matte appearance or the way the pale flowers look against the blue. For those lucky enough to have a collection that includes all three standard colors, you know well the commanding presence of this particular Roseville pottery line. There’s also a slight bit of mystery associated with Cosmos: nailing down the actual number of shapes can be a challenge. There are some vintage advertisements that make mention of 48 shapes; however, if you plunder the Roseville factory pages, you’ll find 45. What makes Cosmos so special are the notched elements often found around the rims. https://artpotteryblog.com/site/2014/07/the-fascination-of-roseville-pottery-cosmos-pattern.html The Roseville Pottery Company began producing utility lines more than 100 years ago in Roseville, Ohio. in 1898, the company moved to modern facilities in Zanesville, Ohio. https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/roseville-pottery-identification-value-guide-4062357 Read more of “A History Of The Roseville Pottery Company” at https://rosevilleart.com/history.html Market Guide is available at http://realpriceguides.com/rosevilleA/numbers7.htm Roseville Cosmos 649-3 Blue Jardiniere Ca. 1940
