The Ceramics museum is housed in the old city post office.. Our tour began with a viewing of a 35-minute film presentation on the history of East Liverpool and the pottery industry. The film explained the differences in the manufacture of pottery from primitive yellow ware on through the more automated and refined products to the point when they were producing Lotus Ware..
After that we walked around the museum for about an hour and looked at photographs, pottery examples that the film had explained to us and the life-size dioramas. (as in the photo) . Other dioramas depicted the jigger shop, kiln and decorating shops.
The museum webpage says that ceramic manufacturing was more important in East Liverpool during the late-nineteenth century than is steel production in Pittsburgh or automobile manufacturing in Detroit today.
