They had to invent as they went. A lot of the technical stuff had to be developed by trial and blunder. Rookwood tended to be prior to the pack when it comes to innovation and more acutely aware of what was happening internationally. There were a large number of those who played off Rookwood and produced a very an identical product. Weller, Owens, Roseville �C a large number of Ohio companies made similar products, not pretty much as good for essentially the most part, though they each made items that were appealing of their own right. In other parts of the nation, Grueby in the Boston area did some staggering matte glaze pieces and beautiful designs for tile installations. Newcomb College in New Orleans produced some great pottery in a mode greatly based on the natural world of the south. Everybody who did art pottery during this period was trying to get a hold of a far better mousetrap, and in lots of cases they did. What were the most forms that were fashionable at that time?Humler: Rookwood definitely made numerous vase forms, but in addition they got into the architectural business, which got very big around 1900. People realized that you could do a lot with tile in terms of interior and exterior space. Being a very plastic form, you could make tile to fit nearly any area and it's pretty simple to do.
