Harriet "Hattie" Elizabeth Wilcox

[1] The book Rookwood Pottery Potpourri by Virginia Raymond Cummins (C. R. Leonard and D. Coleman, Silver Spring, Maryland, 1980) states that Ms. Wilcox "began her decorating career at Rookwood Pottery in 1886, and, except for a few years after 1907, was there until the 1930s" (p. 51).

One can find pictures of Ms. Wilcox in Herbert Peck's The Book of Rookwood Pottery (Crown Publishers, New York, 1968), which also reproduces the signature used on her decorated works.

Harriet Wilcox never married, residing with her sisters, Grace and Louise, and their mother, Zilpha.

At the time of her death, she was residing at 2113 Fulton Ave. in the Walnut Hills area of Cincinnati.

A contributing factor to her death was listed as "insanity due to auto accident 15 years ago."
