How do I date Rookwood pottery?
​​To date Rookwood pottery, turn the piece over and examine the maker's mark. The company used a reverse RP logo, flame markings and Roman numerals to show the production year of each piece. You can use an authoritative online resource to look up the markings and estimate the age of your pottery. Shop a range of expertly vetted Rookwood pottery on 1stDibs.
