Description |
The Robinson-Ransbottom Pottery Company (1920-2005) was established in 1920 with the merger of Robinson Clay Product Company (1856-1920) of Akron and the Ransbottom Pottery Company (1900-1920) run by four brothers: Frank, Ed, Johnie, and Mort Ransbottom. The company enjoyed 85 years of producing crocks, tableware, cookie jars, vases, planters, pet feeders, and garden ware. Feeling strain from competition from national chains, the company closed their doors in 2005. |
