Teco advertisements are really important when identifying Teco patterns and time frames.

TECO

A Pleasing Xmas Gift

The great variety of designs in lamps, vases, wall pockets, candlesticks, fern dishes, flower holders, punch bowls, cigar jars, trays, etc. etc. gives a range for selection rarely found in pottery, yet each is a work of art that will give great pleasure to its recipient and greater charm to any home.

Rozane Ware for Christmas Giving

Above are shown two Rozane pieces which for delicacy, artistic quality, and warmth of coloring especially commend themselves for gift purposes.

The vase 962 is gracefully patterned; hand decorated in a simple floral design. Done in red, green, and yellow shading off from golden to deep brown.  Very lustrous.

The tankard 855 is also of rich brown with wheat sprig in yellow and green.  Has beautiful gloss.  Rozane ware is made in vases, jardinieres, and art pieces for nooks and corners.  For many purposes of utility and decoration.

The genuine bears this mark.  Write for our beautiful booklet,”The beauty of Rozane Ware.”  It is full of appropriate gift suggestions.  Sent free on request.
