Hi, SueSaw! Thanks for your kind email. I love Roseville, but I am very ignorant about it. When I got your email, however, I took another look. I found that your vase - same color, shape, and size, but WITH NO HALLMARKS - sold in 2004 through Auction House, source Rago Arts and Auction Center, for $750.00. In 2005, through Rago Arts..., the same vase - again no hallmarks at all - sold for $470. Another one - with excellent mold definition, sold in 2005 for $1,700.00. It was described as from 1933, and there was no mention of hallmarks in the description. I cannot see the hallmark of your vase well enough to recognize it if I did find it online. If you could get a better picture, it would be great. Here is the little I have found on Roseville hallmarks.

Hopefully, with a clear photo of the hallmark, someone will be able to verify it, and give you a date range. Regards, miKKo
Mikko that is as clear as it gets...can not read or see anything visible...just the blue swirl...
Thank You for trying...I did go to David Rago....He had sold pieces for me before...but seems not interested in my Roseville or the Nippon...Not big enough Money for him...lol...so the Search will go on....Thanks again
Hi, SueSaw, sorry I couldn't help much. If there's an association for Roseville Collectors, that's where I'd be looking next. Best wishes for success! It's certainly a beautiful piece. Regards, miKKo
Thank You MiKKo..
