Hi all,
I have 4 items i would like help identifying if you all would be so kind. any information you can give will be a great help.
The first item is a pink with black base planter. it measures 6 inches high and 6 inches long. it has a semi gloss glaze and an unglazed bottom. there is no hallmark of any kind.

the second item is planter that measures 5 inches high and 6 inches in diameter. It has the look of a tree stump or log with a flower on one side. The glaze is a flat non gloss as is the bottom and there are no hallmarks.
the third item is a pottery wall mounted light. It looks similar to mccoy pottery or some similar style. it measures 7 1/2 inches across and has a glossy glaze on both the front and the back. the only mark i can find on it is a c inside of a circle.
the final item is a very pretty footed cup and saucer. It has a purple flower with gilt edges on a green background on the inside. The underside of of the cup is an opalescent look. The only mark is the number 52-267 on the bottom of both cup and saucer. If you could tell me what type of flower that is would be very helpfull as well.
Any information you can give me on the above items would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

OOOH! You have a real treasure there, the bottom one- I would bet it's Roseville. Or rosewood, I never know for sure. I am no expert at all, but I have a bowl similar in the way it's glazed- gloss inside, matt outside- and the colors are the same. Mine is a different pattern, but as I say, the same glazes.
I don't know anything about the first two items, but the green plate and bowl are probaby Japanese or Korean export ware,
and they might be very recent. Or not- those styles keep getting made.
But I am sure abotout the Roseville
or.. is it Rosewood?

The piece that has the woody look, I don't think it is Roseville. I have never seen a piece of Roseville without the "R" on the bottom. It is "Roseville", not "Rosewood"

the pink planter, the first picture, actually looks like Hull or Hall, they used to make a lot of this pink and black combo in the 50s
the wall pocket lamp is very interesting, possibly McCoy or Brush?

I just went searching for some kind of picture on the internet and didn't find one, but I know I've seen the woodsy piece in some book or another... I checked Baur and Rookwood as well. whoo boy, the prices! Even unmarked pieces go for mucho dinero. Your woodsy pot will do well for you, and I'll keep looking for a reference.
I have three pieces of art pottery and none of them have marks, I notice. One of them has a pair of lizards, molded on each side, as the handles! theyare pretty cool and I love them all.

Your first piece, the pink and black one, could be Shawnee. The "tree stump" stongly resembles Red Wing Brushed Ware. See Ray Reese's Red Wing book for similar examples.
Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular

Hi: Are there no marks on any of these pieces?
The flower you were wondering about looks like a highly stylized iris, but I'm not at all positive.
About the wall pocket light--I collect wall pockets, and I've seen these lights before. I'm sure the light is an add-on; I don't know where one would buy those metal pieces for the lights, but the light attachment you have is identical to one I bought a couple of years ago on a wall pocket. When it got to me, it was pretty ugly, so I got rid of it.
In my mind, the screw-on light bit detracts from the wall pocket's beauty, especially that silver screw! But I'm sure you'll do well with that one anyway.

My guess on the item in picture # 4 would be Roseville or Hull. Keep in mind that Roseville manufactured prior to 1916 was unmarked. Not sure if Hull ever put out any unmarked or paper label products.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.
