Zanesville Stoneware Company Identification and Value Guide

Jon Rans, Glenn Ralston, Nate Russell

Collector Books, 2002

Zanesville, Ohio was once the home of 31 potteries and tile factories.  One of the areas oldest and the last surviving Zanesville pottery that traces its origins to early days of pottery making there is the Zanesville Stoneware Company, in continuous operation the same location of over 100 years until 1990, when it was totally destroyed by fire.

Many of the wares produced by the company during its early years were utilitarian crockery, often with little or no distinctive markings.  One of the values of this current volume is the help it provides in identifying these pieces.

With the advent of the Arts and Crafts movement, the company was placed well to meet the demand for quality mass-produced pottery, as well as absorbing other smaller companies in the Zanesville area and adopting their designs and production into new product lines.  Thus in the last decade of the 19th century and extending into the next century, Zanesville Stoneware became a major producer of beautiful decorative pieces that are prized by collectors.  Includes a section of pages reproduced from the company's early catalogs.

Hardcover, 11 1/4" X 8 1/2", glossy graphic covered boards, profuse color illustrations, 271 pages. Condition is fine, like new, few signs of use or handling.
