HISTORY: The Roseville Pottery Company was an American art pottery manufacturer in the 19th and 20th centuries. Founded in 1890 they initially produced simple utilitarian ware such as flower pots, stoneware, umbrella stands, cuspidors, and limited painted ware. Early Roseville included pieces made by the prestigious Frederick Rhead, who worked as the art director from 1904 to 1908. Rhead created the sgraffito, Perisan designed Della Robbia line as well as the Olympia line made of Greek mythological scenes. When he left in 1908, his brother Harry replaced him, and later added classic lines such as Carnelian, Donatello, and Pauleo.  Along with Rookwood Pottery and Weller Pottery, Roseville was one of the three major art potteries located in Ohio around the turn of the 20th century. Though the company originally made simple household pieces, the Arts and Crafts Movement inspired their popular designs. Roseville Pottery ceased operations in 1954. Throughout Roseville's days of production, its versatility and innovativeness served to keep the company at the forefront of the various decorating styles and buying public trends. Even to this day, Roseville pottery still represents the most widely known and most sought after collectible art pottery ever produced.
