Rookwood Pottery was founded in 1880 by Maria Longworth Nichols, whose father was a wealthy patron of the arts in Cincinnati. In the 1870s, Ms. Nichols, in association with other Cincinnati ladies, had developed skill at painting china blanks. The growing public interest in decorative pottery was greatly stimulated by the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876, where ceramics from Europe and Asia made a deep impression on audiences. Of particular note was French “barbotine” ware, using colored slip (liquefied clay) to produce underglaze-painted pottery. In 1883, after the company won medals at the Exhibition of American Art Industry in Philadelphia and the Exposition Universelle in Paris, Nichols brought in as manager William W. Taylor. Under Taylor’s leadership, the business prospered, building its sales through a nationwide network of prestigious department and jewelry stores. For more information see: rookwooddatabase.com
