This beautiful vintage azure blue bowl is marked Roseville USA 653- 4″. This design was discontinued circa 1940. It has very good color, glaze work and relief, having been made with a “super mold.” The background color and white rose blossoms convey a serene romanticism. The piece is in good vintage condition, with no repairs, only a small hairline crack and a rusty ring of discoloration on the inside toward bottom.
