With over 800 stunning color photographs, this book displays ceramics
once proclaimed to be the "fastest-selling decorative art
pottery," Roseville's Artcraft, Cherub Cameo, Donatello, Pine Cone
Modern, and Wincraft lines. The thorough text explores the history of
the famous Roseville Pottery Company, from its beginnings in Roseville,
Ohio, in 1890 through its closure in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1954. The
roles played by key staff members, Frederic Grant, Frederick Hurten
Rhead, Ben Seibel, and George Young are detailed, and previously
unpublished manufacturer's marks are shown. Rare Della Robbia and
Olympic items are featured along with experimental and trial glaze wares
from Roseville's glaze chemist George Krause. This book has important
new findings for all who are interested in twentieth century art
pottery.
