Mostique
Dating from about 1915, Mostique is probably the most common Roseville pattern after Pine Cone, with about 80 different styles known. Crudely stylized leaf and floral patterns, often in spade shapes, alternate with heavy lines and geometric forms on textured bodies of gray or tan. Most pieces are unmarked.
