"The Rookwood Pottery in Cincinnati, Ohio, was probably the most famous company making art pottery in the United States in the late nineteenth century into the twentieth century. Proud that the pottery was ;an artist's studio, not a factory,' Rookwood Pottery is known for achieving exceptionally fine glazes and successful experimental designs. Gerald and Virginia Gordon have created a magnificent collection fully representing all aspects of Rookwood production, which they have generously given to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. With the Gordons' gift, the Museum now has one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of Rookwood pottery, which is published here for the first time. Each object has been newly photographed especially for this publication and is reproduced in full color." (dj) This is a reference you'll be happy you have at your fingertips!
