About
Roseville
Pottery
In 1892 George F. Young founded The Roseville Pottery
Company in Zanesville, Ohio. Zanesville became an ideal location for potters
because
of the rich clay deposits in the area. In 1898 the company moved to modern facilities
in Zanesville and entered the art pottery market in the early 1900s to compete
with manufacturers. Perhaps the most collectible Roseville Pottery was produced
during the 'middle period' (1920's-1930's). Frank Ferrell was the art director
responsible for introduction of such patterns as Sunflower,
Futura, Wisteria,
Dahlrose, Ferella and more. After
WWII, the Roseville Pottery Company went into production of the floral lines
such as Zephyr Lily, Snowberry, Freesia etc.
Attempts were made to produce a line of modernistic dinnerware and the company
was forced
to close in 1954.
Valuing Roseville
Although prices have stabilized somewhat during recent years,
shoppers need to shop discriminately to add to a collection. Quality varies from
piece to piece.
