Long before the kilns were lit, rooks filled the oaks around the Longworth family estate, so many that Joseph Longworth named the house for them. In 1880, his daughter Maria gave her new pottery the name of her childhood home—Rookwood.
The Whitman Rook tile makes its return, a heritage design hand-painted by our artists, with a single rook perched quietly at its edge, keeping watch as it always has. Find it at the link in bio.
