    I found this at a thrift store today; as the lady walked by pushing a cart full of stuff to be put on the shelves, I saw this vase & stooped her and asked her for it - I was sure it was a Roseville. When I saw a $7.95 sticker I was more happy!
    But then I saw there was no maker's mark inscribed in the pottery, only a sticker (but it does say Roseville Pottery)?
    Is this real or did I find another copy? (for the price I took a chance & bought it so I could find out here!)
    If it's real how do you estimate it's age?
    PS - It's 9" tall and even though I'm not a pottery guy; this thing is pretty(!) and with no scratches or chips!
    Thank you!

    Does this have a name? It looks like a bee hive(?) to me!

    Sweet, I would have grabbed that in a heart beat! There is probably an R under the sticker, but I wouldn’t touch the sticker to find out.

    Good score. All we get in the thrift store by me is clothes nobody wants, and broken lamps and electronics!

    The partial blue mark showing under the sticker is a crayon mark, likely a decorator's or finisher's mark. BTW, this vase is #690-9.

    Thank you all!
    sabre 123, maybe it's because the thrift stores I go to are here in Miami - it has a diverse population from all over the world. Or... maybe because I seem to be drawn to old or unusual!

    I think it is because a lot of people from all over retire and die in that area. The families go to clean things out and haul them to the thrifts.
    When my Grandparents died on the west coast of FL, I rented a trailer and brought most of the antiques home to VA (at the time.)
