An authentic Roseville Pottery art pottery ewer in the coveted Water Lily pattern, shape 176-6, introduced in the mid-1940s during the height of American art pottery production. This sculptural form exemplifies Roseville’s mastery of molded relief and organic line—featuring dimensional water lily blossoms and flowing foliage wrapped around a swelling body, culminating in a pierced handle and elegantly flared rim.
The matte green ground glaze, layered with tonal variation, highlights the raised floral modeling and captures the natural depth collectors expect from period Roseville. Subtle kiln nuances and glaze pooling enhance the surface, reinforcing its factory-original character.
