Rookwood Pottery

Post by TopshelfNOLA on Thu Feb 14, 2013 7:07 pm

I have this piece of pottery that I was told was Roseville pottery and I was wondering if indeed it was Roseville and if it was, what pattern this dish is. Thank you!

It doesn't appear to be one of their's. Most of the Roseville pottery pieces I can find have Roseville on the base, and commonly have a floral decoration on the outer surface rather than this Greek Key motif.
This is probably of the same period - Art Deco - but a different manufacturer.

It has been a long time since I saw this mark but I am fairly sure that it is for Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati.

They also helped with dating the piece because the XIX means that it was made in 1919. The other numbers are for the shape.

Aha, yes, Rookwood. XIX is the year mark = 1919

No problem - two people coming up with the same answer independently must mean that it's ................................. ROOKWOOD!!!!!
