Roseville Peony windowbox planter 387-8" Great find!

Presented for your consideration is a Roseville Art Pottery window box of the Peony pattern.  The makers mark on the base is the trademark script-like impressed name Roseville U.S.A. and shape number 387-8".  This is the second listing of this item, and I have re-examined the piece.

In my opinion, this 8" planter is in "fine" condition with little manufacturing defect.  It measures approx. 10 1/2" length x 3" width x 3" deep.   The mould is crisp, the color pronounced and even, yet the glaze is imperfect as there are tiny burst air bubbles in the glaze at the center of each Peony-- likely from a foam that occured when the glaze was brushed on the piece before firing.  There is also crazing over the surface of the planter.  There are no cracks or missing elements.  However, there is a chip at the top edge of one corner which has compromised the glaze, (see photo 3, upper right corner).  It is an easy repair for a restoration specialist.
