Lowry potteries were located in Roseville. At least they were in the twenties and thirties. I know the C.W. Lowry pottery was built in 1881 and was bought out by a gentleman named Culp and was destroyed by fire in 1945. As mentioned before, there are pottery associations in that area and even a museum, I believe and they do have a pottery festival each summer in either the village of Crooksville or Roseville. They alternate sites for this event. Good luck on your quest for information. It is a very interesting subject and this was the pottery capitol of the world for some time.
