<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 158580, member: 1262"]From what I've heard most art pottery collectors consider light crazing in a slightly negative light, in that they would rather have a perfect piece with great mold details and no distractions. However since even Roseville's late line pieces are nearing 70 years old a lot of them have condition issues with light crazing being one of the most minor and with the least impact on value. Some collectors like light crazing since it shows the piece's age. Now heavy crazing does significantly impact value in a negative way. Below is a Watt pottery piece I picked up in a box lot at an estate auction. Normally it might be worth $10+ (retail) but with the crazing it has makes it worth a few dollars at most.
