| Rowe Pottery Works
is one of the largest makers of hand-crafted pottery in the USA. |
Hand-crafted salt-glaze pottery is achieved by throwing crude salt into the kiln
when the fire is intense.
The salt instantly vaporizes to create a
transparent glaze. |
|
The salt-glaze stoneware is truly indicative of
early times, but adapted for everyday use. |
|
All Rowe Pottery
items are dishwasher, microwave, and oven-safe. |
|
Everything is lead-free. |

2005 Historical
Series |
|
|
|
Each year Rowe Pottery Works
introduces a new collection of historical pottery that reflects the
culture of generations past. |
|
The 2005 grouping was inspired by
salt glaze pottery used in the 1850s, shortly before the Civil War. |
|
To create the historical series,
the Rowe craftsmen use salt glazing techniques dating back to the
16th Century. The bumpy, orange-peel surface along
with the brown, green & dark grey colorations are all
characteristics of this traditional pottery making process as it was
fired in wood burning kilns. |
|
This Series was retired at
the end of December 2005. |
