Roseville Pottery collectors may be interested in this video of the dedication ceremony of a historical marker commemorating the site of the original Roseville Pottery Company in Zanesville, Ohio. The historical marker was dedicated on July 17, 2007 during the annual Pottery Lovers Reunion in Zanesville.
Our friend and Iowa Art Pottery Association president Ted Priester presided over the ceremony. The video includes remarks by the Mayor of Zanesville, our friend and president of the American Art Pottery Association, Arnie Small, our friend and president of the Pottery Lovers, Joe Tunnell and Ohio Historical Society curator, Stacia Kuceyeski. The video runs about 10 minutes and provides some interesting information on the original Roseville Pottery works, the American Art Pottery Association and the City of Zanesville.

Thank you for the helpful information on Roseville patterns and marks. I have ONE Roseville pot that was my grandmother's. I've wondered if it was original or a reproduction. I'm now pretty confident it's original...a moss pattern created between '35 and '39. This especially makes sense since my grandparents were married in '38. This was probably a wedding present. The more I read about Roseville pottery, the more interested I become in finding additional pieces.
