The Rookwood Pottery Company was founded in 1880 by the artist Maria Longworth-Nichols who created a world-renowned ceramic studio in Cincinnati, Ohio that attracted reputable artists and ceramicists. Sarah Elizabeth Coyne, who often went by "Sallie", worked at Rookwood Pottery from 1891 to 1839. Remarkably, when she began working at Rookwood, she was only 15 years old.
