The Roseville Place is

The Roseville Place was started in August of 1997 to give sellers and buyers the opportunity to do transactions without the pressure of bids, crowds etc.

In July of 1998, The Roseville Place was taken over by Joyce Steinbuch at the request of Phil Jackson the original owner.

Operation of The Roseville Place was transfered to Richard Harkrider in December of 2000 and our goals remain the same.

We have recently teamed up with The Pottery Shopper in order to provide a better experience for both buyers and sellers. ENJOY!!

Introduction

The Roseville Pottery Company was organized in 1890 with George F. Young as the general manager and by January of 1892 he had managed to acquire all the company stock thus giving him complete control.

Mr. Young would go on to transform the company into one of the giants in the manufacturing of American Art Pottery. George continued to lead the company until his retirement in 1918 at which time his son took over operation.

The Roseville Pottery Company was in continuous operation in Zanesville until 1954.

  

We are in the process of building a new look. Stick with us while rebuilding continues.

Roseville; The Early Years.

In 1898 the Roseville Pottery Company moved its administrative offices to Zanesville, Ohio and began aquiring production facilities there. By 1910 all production had been moved to Zanesville.

Seeing a need to compete with the highly successful Rookwood Standard Glaze ware and similar lines produced by other Ohio pottery companies Ross Purdy was hired in 1900 to create a new line of artware which was named Rozane. Rozane Ware was hand decorated with many being artist signed. Most pieces with the exception of the very largest were molded and then decorated. By 1914 tastes had changed and the Rozane Art Pottery line was discontinued.

Frederick Rhead was hired as art director in 1904. He was the genus behind such lines as Crystalis, Fudgi, Aztec and Della Robbia. While some of these had limited commercial success most are quite rare and highly sought by todays collectors. Della Robbia is, in my opinion the ultimate of Roseville Pottery production and will hold its own against anything produced by any pottery company of the time. Sadly Rhead left the company in 1908.
