Connection to original[edit]

i think it needs be made clear whether or not the present company has any connection with the original. as a contrast, i would point out that heywood-wakefield furniture is again being made, the only connection to the original being that someone has revived the name, although they are re-creating the deco/modern designs.Toyokuni3 (talk) 12:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


The image identified on this page as Rookwood is anything but. I should know, because it is in my china cabinet. Whoever stole it off of my Flickr page has no idea what they are looking at. I assure you that this is not a piece of Rookwood pottery and you are doing a disservice by identifying it as such. Enjoy the nice Van Briggle vase if you must, but don't call it Rookwood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rookwood_Pottery.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.109.103.21 (talk) 01:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error[edit]

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for The Rookwood Pottery Company. As referenced in the "Rookwood Today" part of the the "Rookwood Pottery Company" article, the current location for the company is in Over-the-Rhine and not Mt. Adams (both suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. The company's website: www.rookwood.com gives the correct and current address as: 1920 Race Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45202. Lat 39.11737245268598 Long -84.51848477125168 —208.102.3.51 (talk) 18:46, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Revised — The company's new coordinates would not be appropriate at the top of the article or in the infobox for this article mainly about the historic company. I have, however, added them in a footnote to the sentence about the new company. (And to any fellow coords patrolers, I did verify that the nondescript building designated by these coords is in fact the correct one.) The existing coords for the historic company were, however, themselves inaccurate and I also pointed them to the right spot. — TransporterMan (TALK) 20:30, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rookwood Pottery[edit]

In the article, the sentence, “Rookwood was noted for its employment of women,” should expand to continue saying, ‘and for being founded, owned and, initially, operated by a woman.’ Planetsean (talk) 15:51, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
