Because all of Rowe Pottery products are handmade, you will not find the consistency of machine made, production-line products. The size and shape of a piece will vary and the individual decorator who creates your piece will influence the pattern. Throwing ridges created by the potter's hand as it turns on the wheel, brown flashings created in the kiln where two pots "kiss" each other all add to the character and uniqueness of your particular piece. These are inherent traits of salt glaze stoneware and make each piece a joy for you and generations to come.

Early Americans cherished their stoneware for its durability in oven and hearth. Crocks, jars and jugs had to withstand daily use and perform equally well in extreme hot and cold temperatures. Today we enjoy authentic salt glaze for the same reasons.  It's 100% food safe and use it in the oven, microwave and is dishwasher safe.

Rowe Pottery is handmade with pride just like it was 150 years ago.

Historical 2014

Many communities are leading sustainability projects called "Farm to Table", referring to producing food locally and delivering the food to local consumers, all in an attempt to provide the freshest ingredients and to create a link from the local farmer to their community. The 2014 Historical Collection looks back at when life was simpler and Farm to Table was the way of life. Enjoy the entire 2014 Collection: 1/2 Gallon Milk Pitcher, Water Carrier, Butter Crock and Yelloware Bowl

Colorization varies greatly due to the Salt Glaze style of firing the pottery - Colors from pale grey blue to dark brown are normal -

we can not speculate on what color you will receive - each is a limited edition - all will have brown and blue spots

Milk Pitcher

The 2014 Historical Pitcher is a 1/2 gallon milk pitcher, this piece brings back memories of times before refrigeration, when people brought the fresh milk in daily from large containers stored in cool root cellars. Today these pitchers grace many kitchens as collectibles, but ours can still be used to carry 1/2 gallon of milk to the table for serving

Yelloware Bowl

The 2014 Historical Yelloware Bowl keeps with our tradition of adding a new yelloware piece each year. This year's piece is a large shallow bowl, perfect for displaying fresh picked fruits and vegetables or for serving your favorite dishes

Butter Crock

The 2014 Historical Butter Crock was created from many customer inquiries. Fashioned after a vintage english butter crock, this 2 piece crock holds a fresh stick of butter, the butter than stays at a spreadable consistency with no refrigeration by adding water to the bottom. A unique piece that holds a place on the table everyday

Water Carrier

The 2014 Historical Water Carrier is a complimentary piece to our 2013 Historical Keeler. The tall design replicates that of an old wooden water carrier, with the wooden spindle handle. This piece is a reminder of the past when there was not running water and fresh water was carried into the homes daily. This piece can be used daily as a beautiful vase for fresh flowers from the garden, can be filled with fresh water to serve at the table or as a beautiful collectible in the home
