This ceramic creamer features a Rockingham glaze with light and dark brown tones on the inside and outside. Rockingham is generally not felt to be a specific ware type; rather simply a type of glaze applied to yellow, buff, or (rarely) white-bodied ceramics.
According to Edwin Atlee Barber, in his book “The Pottery and Porcelain of the United States” (1883), American Rockingham is yellowware covered with a dark-brown glaze and often mottled by spattering the glaze before it is fired. The name Rockingham was first applied to pottery made in England about 1796.
Rockingham was a popular style for ceramic manufacturers in East Liverpool, Ohio, in the mid-19th century. Since the name Rockingham became synonymous with a style of ceramics, 20th-century manufacturers used the name Rockingham for earthenware and porcelain pieces that had a similar look to original Rockingham pieces.Location
