What Rookwood Pottery is known for

Founded in 1880 by Maria Longworth Nichols, Rookwood is an American art pottery famed for its matte and flambe glazes and architectural tile, now hand-thrown and glazed again in a restored Over-the-Rhine factory. It produces vases, ornaments and custom tile alongside a museum-grade archive of its historic forms.
