Roseville Pottery (United States, Est. 1890)
‘Tourmaline’ Console Bowl, A152-10, c. 1933-37
pink & turquoise glazed pottery
9 1/4″ diameter x 2 7/8″ high
Notes: This is the only example of this bowl we can find. All other examples are 7-8” at the largest diameter – this is a full 2 ½” larger! Even the rim diameter is 8” There is no mention of this size in any of our Roseville books. It is either extremely rare or undocumented. This form was continued from the earlier Carnelian line and Carnelian A-152 examples are occasionally as large as 9 ½”; our best guestimate is this is an early piece of Tourmaline that used a Carnelian A-152 mold.
