Cookson Yellow Planter

Q:        Is a rectangular yellow planter marked “Cookson 923” of any value?

A:         Gerald Cookson founded Cookson Pottery Co. in Roseville, Ohio, in 1945. Garden ware, planters, vases and florist ware were produced. Cookson’s molds were made by Ungemach Pottery, another Roseville company, and the glazes were applied at Cookson Pottery. Cookson’s son took over the business in 1966. The business was sold in 1982 but continued to operate until 1995. Value of your planter: about $20.
