| Early on the main products
were small items like candle holders and wall pockets plus modernistic animals
on wooden bases. The Chinese Modern line of the forties included vases, bowls,
figurines, wall pockets and such in various high-gloss colors and combinations.
Roselane manufactured a very popular "Aqua Marine" line from 1945 to 1952
featuring stylized fish against an aqua or pink background. William Fields
designed a very modern line of abstract animals on walnut bases in the mid
fifties. These were not all that popular with gift buyers but are very popular
with collectors today.
Construction of the 210 freeway forced Roselane
to relocate to Baldwin Park in 1968 where it remained until 1974. William
Fields died in 1973 and the company was sold to Prather Engineering who moved
operations to Long Beach before closing in 1977.
