The Ruskin Pottery was established in 1898 in a suburb of Birmingham, England. The founder, Edward Richard Taylor, so admired the teachings and philosophy of John Ruskin that he named his pottery in his honor.

Ruskin Pottery enjoyed a worldwide reputation, and considering the times in which it operated, was most successful. Ruskin won the "Highest Award Grand Prize" at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Centennial Exhibition in St. Louis. Over the years, the pottery received many such awards, both at home and abroad, rivaling such potteries as Rookwood, Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Moorcroft, Minton and others.

Liberty of London, purveyors of both sterling silver and pewter art objects, sold Ruskin plaques instead of semiprecious gemstones.
