I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt. About Coors Pottery & the Rosebud Pattern:Adolph Coors Sr. acquired the Herold China and Pottery Company in 1914 as a side business. However, after Prohibition began in Colorado, Coors Sr. encouraged his two sons to focus on the pottery company to support the brewery. His sons, Adolph Jr., and Herman, used chemistry skills learned from beer production to manufacture durable ceramic products. Herold Pottery manufactured dinnerware, ceramic technology (e.g., battery cells and spark plugs insulation), and chemical labware through World War I and Prohibition's end. The business—renamed Coors Porcelain Company in 1920—introduced several dinnerware and cookware lines and household items, including vases, cookie jars, and figurals. Coors Porcelain halted these "non-essential" items' production when America entered World War II. Dinnerware production ceased in 1941. Although the company produced some utilitarian ware such as ashtrays, mugs, ovenware, teapots, and vases after World War II, dinnerware production was not resumed. Instead, the business prioritized expanding its technical and scientific ceramic products. Coors Porcelain supplied the government with ceramic insulators for the Manhattan Project. After the war ended, the company briefly made another consumer product line of vases, ashtrays, mugs, steins, and promotional pieces, many of which were produced for Coors Brewing. In the 1930s Coors introduced six dinnerware lines: Coorado, Golden Ivory, Golden Rainbow, Mello-tone, Rock-Mount, and Rosebud Cook-N-Serve. Using a vitrified process, Coors dinnerware could go directly from the oven to the table, a fairly new concept at the time. The Rosebud line remains Coors Porcelain's most popular selection. Inspired by Coors Sr.'s wife's love of roses, the low-fired dinnerware was produced in high-gloss rose, green, yellow, blue, orange, and ivory colors. These hues varied—for example, the rose color ranged from a deep maroon to a pink. Pieces were decorated with an embossed, hand-painted rose and leaves, sometimes with another rose on the lid.
