Earlier this month Sally and I were in Cincinnati for a wedding. One of our tours included lunch at the original Rookwood Pottery factory in the Mount Adams neighborhood. A wonderful building which once employeed 200 people producing fine collectable ceramics and architectural ceramics. Rookwood produced work from 1880 to 1941.

In 2004, 124 years after its founding, a piece of Rookwood pottery sold for $375,000 at auction, setting another world record for pottery.
