No other state was blessed with as many potteries as Ohio. This page will eventually link all of the resources the Wisconsin Pottery Association has on Ohio. Ohio is the featured state for the 2003 Show and sale with the exhibit "The Ohio Spectrum". In the past, Roseville & Weller were the featured potteries of the exhibit.
