History: Rowe Pottery was established in 1975 in Cambridge, Wisconsin. In the late 1970’s, as a two-person pottery studio and shop, sales were made through art fairs and the studio showroom. All the Rowe Pottery was made by hand on the potter's wheel and the pots were fired in the brick kiln out behind the small workshop. Interest in collecting antique cobalt blue decorated salt glaze crocks and jugs was the inspiration to change the studio's pottery product line in early 1980. Rowe Pottery changed from its original style of pottery to making museum quality reproductions of Early American salt glaze crocks and jugs. The value of early crockery was skyrocketing and quality adaptations of the early designs were not available.
My shipping price includes my actual postage cost as well as packing/handling cost (bubble wrap, boxes, tape, envelopes, etc.) with transportation to post office and my time. It entails more than the postage stamp amount when it arrives to you. Also note that I recycle materials as much as possible - saving the environment. All that being said I do try hard to be reasonable. Please leave feedback when the item is received and I will do the same for you.
