Antique Art Pottery Restoration and Repair Services
American and British companies began producing antique art pottery in the 1870s. Art pottery is different from other antique pottery because it was made for display purposes rather than functionality. Because of this, most antique art pottery pieces are hand-painted and signed by the artist who painted it. During the boom years art pottery companies produced everything from vases to wall pockets to jardinières to creamers to tiles and ewers until the popularity of antique art pottery waned in the 1940s. Some of the most popular types of art pottery are:
 Roseville Pottery Repair and Restoration
The Roseville Pottery Company was founded by George F. Young in 1892 in Zanesville, Ohio. The first pieces of Roseville pottery were under the name of "Rozane" or "Rozane Ware" and had highly glossed browns and blues, with hand painted animals, Indians, nature scenes and portraits. In the late 1910's, a new line called "Rosecraft" was introduced. Around this time, Frank Ferrell became the art director and developed multi-colored Roseville pottery pieces with embossed or molded designs that have been popular with collectors for a number of years. There are many different lines of Roseville pottery, but some of the most popular lines include: Roseville Sunflower, Roseville Pinecone, Roseville Baneda, Roseville Bushberry, Roseville Ferrella, Roseville Rosecraft Vintage, Roseville Futura, Roseville Blackberry, Roseville Laurel, and Roseville Fuschia. Most of the Roseville pottery lines are identifiable by their blended two tone color schemes, matte finish, and official mark.

 Rookwood Pottery Repair and Restoration
The Rookwood Pottery Company was founded by Maria Longworth Nichols in 1880 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company initially produced only painted tableware, but after years of experimenting with glazes and firing techniques, the company began producing revolutionary art pottery around 1889. The company thrived until the Great Depression and many pieces produced during this era are highly collectible. Most pieces of Rookwood pottery are identifiable by their dynamic glazes and official marks. Some of the most valuable Rookwood pottery was hand signed by their artist who produced it. In fact, a number of artists produced Rookwood pottery over the years, including: Kataro Shirayamadani, Matthew Daly, Sara Sax, Artus Van Briggle, and Maria Longworth Nichols.

 Fulper Pottery Repair and Restoration
In 1864, Abram Fulper bought Hill Pottery and shifted the focus of the pottery company onto the production of more sophisticated ceramics. In 1909, he changed the name of the company to "Fulper Pottery" and introduced their first art pottery line, the Vasekraft. In 1910, he hired a ceramic engineer named Martin Stangl in order to design and produce new glazes and shapes. Stangl left in 1914 to work for another company but returned in 1919 and rose to the executive ranks. Production increased and the company grew and in 1929, Stangl bought the company and immediately changed the name to Stangl Pottery. Fulper Pottery items remain quite popular with art pottery collectors today.
