Vintage c. 1949 Roseville Pottery Ming Tree Bookends 559 Blue Turquoise A Pair:
$285.00
Up for sale is a breathtaking, flawlessly matched pair of authentic Roseville Pottery bookends from the highly collectible Ming Tree line, introduced in 1949. This design masterfully captures the late-1940s Hollywood Regency and Asian-Modern "Chinoiserie" design movements that heavily influenced mid-century American home decor. This specific set features the stunning and vibrant Celestial Blue (Turquoise) colorway. It brilliantly contrasts a bright, glossy turquoise background against the iconic, hand-painted brown bonsai tree branches. The sprawling, knobby trunks wrap around the form to create functional, structural handles. Elegant clouds of textured, pastel pink "cherry blossoms" rest beautifully in high relief against the sculptural mountain shape. The reverse sides feature a fully glazed, smooth light-blue factory-authentic finish.
