Description	This 1907 catalog for Rookwood Pottery focuses on the company's Architectural Department, which made decorative tiles, mantel faces, and complete mantels. The catalog is 44 pages long and measures 5.25" x 7" (13.34 x 17.78 cm). Seventeen pages are included here. Rookwood Pottery was founded by Maria Longworth Nichols in 1880 and financed by her father. The name Rookwood comes from the name of her father's estate. Though the company started out as an amateur pottery club, it soon became one of the most important pottery manufacturing companies in Cincinnati because of its innovative glazing and firing techniques. Rookwood Pottery won many prestigious awards at expositions such as the Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1893) and the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo (1901). Rookwood Pottery closed in 1961.
