Rowland & Marsellus (of New York, USA) were importers, wholesalers and retailers, especially of 'souvenir' wares. They operated c.1893 -1938. Rowland & Marsellus dealt with numerous Stoke-on-Trent (Staffordshire, England) pottery manufacturers and then sold the wares (with their R&M backstamp) to other distributors in America. Many pottery items decorated with American views were made. Of special interest to collectors are the plates with rolled edges, usually blue and white. The plates have a central design showing a building or scene, and several other related scenes in cartouches on the rolled-over edge of the plate. Most were souvenir plates for cities in the United States. A few items have both the mark of the manufacturing pottery and Rowland & Marsellus, most just the mark of Rowland & Marsellus. Often the Rowland & Marsellus mark says "STAFFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND" - this is where the pottery was made - not the place where Rowland & Marsellus were based.
