Tile with Glaze Samples, 1930-1940
01
Artifact Overview
Maria Longworth Nichols (1849-1932) founded Rookwood Pottery--the pioneering art pottery company in America--in Cincinnati in 1880. Innovative imagery and glazes made Rookwood famous and helped establish the look of art pottery. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, when these glaze samples were likely made, Rookwood and other art potteries adopted cost-saving production methods to stay in business.
