In 1900, Frank Ransbottom and his brother started a pottery company in Roseville, Ohio, to make stoneware and pottery. By 1916, Ransbottom Pottery was the largest producer of stoneware jars in America. Around 1920, they merged with Robinson Clay Products, who created bricks and tiles. The name was changed to RRP Company and product lines expanded to include garden ware in addition to their art pottery and functional goods.
