Ceramic yellowware bowls featuring a process called Rockingham glaze or Rockingham ware. The bowls are 4.5" and 5" in diameter.
American Rockingham is yellowware covered with a dark-brown glaze and often mottled by spattering the glaze before it is fired.
Rockingham was first applied to pottery made in England in the late 1700s and became a popular style for ceramic manufacturers in East Liverpool, Ohio, in the mid-19th century. East Liverpool is best known for for its porcelain and pottery industry which was established to exploit local clay deposits. Once the name and style of ceramics became widely known, 20th-century manufacturers used the name for earthenware and porcelain pieces that had a similar look to original Rockingham pieces.Location
