Part of my aunt's collection... a very pretty 4" decorative dish. It took some investigation to find out that this was made around 1948 from Ohio Porcelain Co. in Zanesville, Ohio.
Here is the patent for this. Click/tap to open in a new window.

My husband was hunting in the Avondale area and found this very old bottle. It says "TEWKSBURY BROS ROSEVILLE, OHIO"
I own this booklet, ZANESVILLE ART POTTERY IN COLOR, that has a
copyright of 1968.
It gives a bit of history of the
Pottery Industry, that
includes listing the Ohio Porcelain Company.
I scanned the pages of the "history." Click/tap to open in a new window.

Tried to research "TEWKSBURY BROS ROSEVILLE, OHIO"- found an advertisement in this school play program I own (from Nov 1927).
There was a Tewksbury Ice Cream Parlor, that was known for its Ice Cream Soft Drinks. So there must have been bottles made with their name! I scanned the entire program (see below for a link to the pdf document).

The Premium Merchandise Company's catalog
1906 (this date is used on the back announcement)
Interesting how the printing company did not keep the word, Merchandise, together.
This catalog is really old. No dates are found
on the outside back or on the inside covers. Trying to get a date for this.
Still in possession is the newspaper article about Roseville's Sesquicentennial Celebration

Below is an image of this little booklet, sized 3-1/2" x 6-1/4" -
"Building of the Lutheran Parsonage"
This was prepared in 1910.

Below is a link to see a document of just a sampling of what is in this catalog. It's just so old & brittle to handle a lot with scanning - so only a few pages are shown.
When one reads the beginning page (right after the cover & inside cover), there's an impression made that this "plan or concept" is similar to a pyramidal-type business adventure.

It appears that ROSEVILLE housed the building with products to pick up. Might have been some walk-in trade and also shipping was done from there. Looks like Zanesville received most the orders at an office located there.

In 2012 this is what the building looks like - Ice Cream Parlor was on the right side.
This map shows the location of the Ice Cream Parlor and Avondale State Wildlife Area where the bottle was found.

There are Dozer's in our family tree. Just having this document to share with some other Dozer families.
Trying to find this article online to read better. For now here is a pdf doc of the image of the photo taken of the framed article located in the Roseville Historical Society.
Scanned this 17" x 24" newspaper by piecing sections together and made the PDF document, below. Right click to choose open in new tab or be sure to use your browser's back button to return here.
