Newcomb Pottery, a distinctive American art pottery, was founded in 1894 as part of the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, the women's college of Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. It emerged from the Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to elevate craft to the level of fine art through a focus on materials, design, and the hands-on involvement of artists in all stages of production. Ellsworth Woodward, along with his brother William Woodward, played a pivotal role in the development and promotion of Newcomb Pottery. As an artist and educator, Ellsworth was instrumental in establishing the pottery program, emphasizing the importance of individual artistic expression within the framework of functional ceramics.

Newcomb Pottery is renowned for its unique combination of utility and beauty, featuring motifs inspired by the local flora and fauna of the Gulf South. The pottery pieces, ranging from vases to tiles, were primarily crafted by women artists, including students and alumnae of the college. These artists were guided by the principle of creating art that was both beautiful and useful, embodying the Arts and Crafts movement's ideals. The decoration of Newcomb Pottery pieces often involved a collaborative process, with one artist shaping the piece and another adding the distinctive carved and painted designs.

The legacy of Newcomb Pottery extends beyond its contributions to American decorative arts; it also represents a significant chapter in the history of women's education and their role in the art world at the turn of the 20th century. The pottery ceased operation in 1940, but its pieces remain highly collectible and are held in the collections of major museums, reflecting the enduring appeal and significance of this artistic endeavor. Through exhibitions, scholarly research, and the continued interest of collectors, the story of Newcomb Pottery and the contributions of figures like Ellsworth Woodward to its success continue to captivate and inspire.
