Rozane Ware (is sometimes spelled as Rosane Ware but this isn't right) was more than simply another imitation of the Rookwood 'Standard Glaze' as produced by nearly all the Ohio Companies. In addition to the Hi-Glaze brown Rozane there was also Rozane Royal, Rozane Light, Mongol, Mara, Egypto and Woodland. All these patterns were part of the Rozane Art Pottery line.

Information here in presented is from a 1905 Roseville Pottery Company catalog.

The text may seem a strange read but was taken verbatim from the catalog. I feel it gives one a feel for the formality of the period.

Refining decoration is a rest, a pleasure and a duty.

POTTERY is just as necessary in the modern home as in the days of the ancients, who used it for everything possible: for gathering and cooking foods, for recording, in sign and design, the heroic deeds of great men, and for the beautifying of their wonderful palaces, never yet surpassed.

From crudest urns and bowls, the industry of .fashioning utensils from clay soon grew to be a popular art, and pottery became a favorite medium for conveying compliments and good wishes, and for bestowing special marks of honor. It was conferred upon the officer by his sovereign and passed between friends at customary times of rejoicing.

For any and all purposes to which art pottery can be put, useful and decorative, there is nothing more appropriate than Rozane. Now that several styles of decoration have been added, great variety in designs and colorings will be found. No collection is complete without several pieces of this ware.

We earnestly request that you read every word of this carefully compiled book, especially those portions relating to the uses of art pottery in the home. We are sure you will find it both pleasant and profitable.

Very respectfully,
The Roseville Pottery Company
Zanesville, Ohio, U.S.A.
