The History of Roloff Porcelain Design
This site is presented by the Roloff Porcelain Design company which specializes
in hand painted Porcelain and China, Ceramic and Glass. While the Roloff site
is interesting enough in its own right, it deserves special interest from
students of the Columbian Exposition, because it identifies the birth of the

America. The site presents a fascinating history of one mans artistic struggle
as well as some stunning photos of his work.
