Hundreds of color photos of productions pieces, garden ware, glaze types, and a detailed 200+ page catalog section. This book traces the roots of Zanesville pottery from the Ohio Encaustic Tile Co. through the E.G. Bowen Co., to the present. Readers will find utilitarian stoneware, artware vases, jardinieres and pedestal sets, and amazingly large hand-turned garden ware. 8.5 x 11.

Zanesville is located in a geographically fortuitous location in the southeastern part of the state, juxtaposed between the Licking and Muskingum Rivers and rich veins of clay, natural gas, and coal. Settled in 1797, Zanesville grew and prospered over the next 200 years as a transportation hub and a pottery-and tile-manufacturing center. Known for decades as either “Clay City” or the “Y-Bridge City,” Zanesville retains its charm and small-town qualities through its architecture, neighborhoods, parks, schools, downtown buildings, churches, and numerous bridges that crisscross the city. As you explore Zanesville's historic past, you may find yourself reminiscing about earlier days and learn why so many people have called Zanesville home.
