In 1900, Frank Ransbottom and his brother started a pottery company in Roseville, Ohio. By 1916 Ransbottom Pottery was the largest producer of stoneware jars in America. Around 1920, they merged with Robinson Clay Products Co. who created bricks and tiles. The name was changed to RRP Company (to reflect both initials) and product lines expanded to include gardenware in addition to their art pottery and functional goods. The company continued until 2005, when it finally ceased operations.
