History of Pottery

Manufacturing of modern pottery began in approximately 1900 and modern pottery characterized pottery for another four decades. New manufacturing methods of execution and innovative and expanded design permitted manufacturers to create some of the finest pottery in American history. During the period, however, it becomes clear that some lines of pottery though quite modern also borrowed from artistic movements of the period. This is the case with the Roseville Pottery Company's Bleeding Heart vases that though modern in classification clearly demonstrate the influence of the Art Deco style that was highly popular during the era.

In 1892, George F. Young founded the Roseville Pottery Company in Zanesville, Ohio (Joseph 1).
