A superb example of Roseville’s highly regarded Apple Blossom line, offered here in the desirable 388-10 form and presented in outstanding original condition.
This piece features a rich blue matte glaze with excellent depth and even coverage, providing striking contrast to the finely modeled apple blossom clusters in soft ivory with delicate blush accents. The sculptural branch-form handles and balanced proportions give the vase a strong architectural presence, making it equally compelling as a standalone display piece or functional vessel.
Unlike many examples found on the market, this vase retains a clean, undamaged rim and crisp applied detail, with no signs of restoration or repair—an increasingly difficult combination to find in this form.

Collector Notes:
The 388 form is prized for its proportion and versatility, and examples in this level of preservation—particularly with strong glaze quality—are becoming increasingly scarce. The blue-green variation remains one of the most decorator-friendly and sought-after colorways within the Apple Blossom line.
A refined and investment-worthy example for the serious collector or discerning interior.
