Before 1935, some flower frogs were treated as part of the "Novelties" family.
By 1916, Roseville introduced a systematic method of assigning shape numbers by shape family. Until 1936, the shape numbers were seldom indicated on the actual pottery. Many can be found by studying the shape lists in Bassett's Roseville Prices and the catalog pages in Understanding Roseville Pottery and Jack and Nancy Bomm's Roseville in All Its Splendor. For items that do not appear in those books, shape numbers can be identified only by locating an example marked at the factory with a pencil, crayon, or inkstamp notation. You can help! If you find a flower frog marked with a shape number whose line is not identified below or in the "Novelties" list, pleasecontact Mark Bassett. 12 = Early Carnelian (frog)
15-2.5" = Mostique, Early Carnelian/Early Velmoss, Rosecraft, Lustre, Florentine, Carnelian, Tuscany, Lombardy, Futura, Savona, Ferella, Earlam, Jonquil, Ivory, or Russco 15-3.5" = Mostique, Early Carnelian/Early Velmoss, Rosecraft, Lustre, Florentine, Carnelian, Tuscany, Lombardy, Futura, Savona, Ferella, Earlam, Jonquil, Ivory, or Russco 16 = Unknown
17-3.5" = Carnelian, Ivory, Tourmaline, or
Luffa
In 1936, Roseville began marking pieces with permanent (either impressed or raised) shape numbers. Examples from older lines that bear impressed or raised shape numbers were made in 1936 (or later). 22-4" = Primrose
