<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 1439696, member: 1262&quot;]Well folks I must either be a fool or a glutton for punishment by collecting so much art pottery since the market is very weak and who knows if it will ever recover. I do NOT recommend anybody wanting any reasonable return on investment from purchasing art pottery for resale. Personally I am a collector first and foremost, and will to attempt to wait the bad times for art pottery out and hope that twenty years from now I don&#039;t have a bunch of pretty paperweights that are worth zilch. Added a few pieces of Roseville today. Happy collecting!</p><p><br /></p><p>Saw an monumental piece of Della Robbia sell today so that was exciting. No - I didn&#039;t even think of purchasing it since that stuff is out of my league and it realized $5,200.</p><p><br /></p><p>Roseville Blackberry - One of the few lines that still seems to sell fairly well and it is perhaps my favorite pattern.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]224206[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roseville Orian - I think I did OK on these going by how much damage pieces are going for on the bay. Orian apparently is relatively scarce. Haven&#039;t see a lot of it out there in my 15 years of collecting. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]224207[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roseville Tuscany - Inexpensive but not one of the more common lines you see all the time. Think I did well on this one despite the woes of the market.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]224208[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Lots of art pottery currently being offered for sale in my area of the country. Based on hints from the sellers I think the bulk of it is from one estateof a recently deceased dealer who had thousands of pieces packed into their home and is currently supplying three, perhaps more, auctioneers with large quantities of art pottery and is saturating the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
