We are exceptionally proud to showcase that which appears to be an ULTRA RARE experimental ca. 1923 Roseville vase in their exceptional Florentine 1 pattern. Our incredible one of a kind form stands 7.25 X 7.25 X 12.5" tall, AND IS THE EXACT MOLD AND COLOR MATCH TO THE 1924 PRODUCTION #234-12 FLORENTINE VASE. HOWEVER, RESEARCH INDICATES THAT ALL PRODUCTION 234-12's FEATURED DUAL FLUSH RIM HANDLES, WHILE OUR ORIGINAL TREASURE HAS NONE!! We have searched every reference that we can find, and there is no photographic evidence of any 12.5" Florentine 1 piece without handles anywhere! Also, as all current references list the 234-12 as the ONLY 12", and single tallest vessel in the Florentine 1 stable, we believe that we can categorically state that this was never a production vase! This incredible Roseville weighs 5# 8 oz., and is in VG-Excellent condition. As the standard Florentine 1 #234-12's fall into the $300-$400 range, this prototype / experimental, Unique one of a kind vase estimates between $1,300 and $1,500.
