Where was Cowan pottery made?
1 Answer
Cowan pottery was made in two different places. In 1912, R. Guy Cowan established his workshop on a farm in Lakewood, Ohio. He ceased production to serve in World War I. After returning from the war, he opened his new production facility in Rocky River, Ohio. The company shuttered in 1931. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Cowan pottery.
