Title	Mary Louise McLaughlin Pottery
Subject	Ohio Women Arts and Entertainment Business and Labor Pottery
Place	Cincinnati (Ohio) Hamilton County (Ohio)
Description	These six ceramic pieces were created by Mary Louise McLaughlin, a leader in the art pottery movement of the nineteenth century. The first item is an early experimental piece of Losanti ware made and signed by Mary Louise McLaughlin in 1887. It is a 5-inch (12.7 cm) tall vase embossed with leaves and vines. In 1881, McLaughlin made the second piece, a 12.5-inch (31.75 cm) vase. It is hand painted with floral motif underglaze decorations. A third piece made in 1879 is a 6.75-inch (17.14 cm) vase decorated with a white floral motif. The fourth piece is a 9.625-inch (24.44 cm) vase made by McLaughlin in 1893. It is decorated with a pink oriental chrysanthemum motif. The fifth piece is a 7.5-inch (19.05 cm) canteen-shaped vase made in 1880. The final piece is an 8.75-inch (22.22 cm) plate. It is decorated with a swirling chrysanthemum motif and was made in 1879. Mary Louise McLaughlin (1847-1939) was one of the first female art potters in the United States. She attended the McMicken School of Design in Cincinnati (later the Cincinnati Art Academy) and exhibited her wares at the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876. She experimented with the long-secret process of limoges faience, a method of decorating china with opaque colored glazes. Her method received an honorable mention at the 1878 Paris Universal Exposition. She founded the Cincinnati Pottery Club in 1879. The Pottery Club met and worked at Rookwood Pottery from 1881 until 1883, when they were banished from Rookwood. For a number of years, McLaughlin shifted her energies to other media, including woodcarving, metalworking, painting, and etching, but returned to pottery in 1898. Her new line was known as Losantiware, a name derived from Losantiville, the original name of Cincinnati. Her Losantiware was exhibited at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition and at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition where it won a bronze medal.
