Description

Rosemeade pottery is known for its naturalistic designs, unique colorful glazes, and superior quality. Made by the Wahpeton Pottery Company in North Dakota, Rosemeade has become highly collectible. This comprehensive guide contains over 25 years of research. Interviews with many former employees contributed to the thoroughly investigated text. Vintage photographs, museum information, end notes, bibliography, and index are included. Over 800 full-color photographs from several extensive collections document the impressive product variety. Featured pieces range from mass-produced, commonly-found wares to rare, one-of-a-kind examples. Detailed captions, measurements, and estimated values accompany the photographs. Photographic images of marks and paper labels also assist the collector with identification. Several categories of cross-market collectibles are shown. These include banks, television lamps, bells, jewelry, bookends, wall pockets, ashtrays, and salt and pepper shakers. As collectors turn back to the '40s and '50s with renewed interest, Rosemeade pottery again finds its niche in their homes.
