In 2010 we'll again be holding benefits and donating to the fallen Officers Memorial fund.   We ask you to add a buck or two to your purchase and we'll match it and help these families.  Officer John Pawlowski of the Philadelphia Police Department was killed in the line of duty Feb 13, 2009 and to the other Officers families who have lost their lives in the past two years.  Officer Powlawski was a five year veteran and had recently married and leaves behind his bride who was expecting their first child, (she gave birth late last summer to a boy).  We ask you, our customers to remember where your money goes when you make a purchase either online or in our store.    We don't send your money to China.   Thanks for your support

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.
