Rosaries are traditionally viewed by Catholics with a profound respect for the Virgin Mary, as it is believed since its inception that the path to Christ is through Holy Mother. Although strongly associated with Roman Catholics, it is also a part of many Christian faiths, such as German Lutherans and the Anglican Communion (Church of England).Rosaries are made with a variety of materials, such as glass, plastic, stone, wood, metal, clay,  and marble; with each beads used to count a series of prayers dedicated to the life of Jesus Christ.

I personally have multiple rosaries that adorn my room, each with experiences marking special moments in my life. One of my favorite rosaries was bought as a gift by my mother at a garage sale, where the seller had no knowledge of its importance. It is longer in length than most of my other rosaries, and the brightness of the blue especially caught my attention. What makes this rosary so special to me, other than its distinguished looks, is that my grandmother, a devout Catholic, examined  it and explained that it was blessed.

The rosaries found at Old World Pottery are used as a way to make certain pottery or areas attractive as evidence through the pictures below.
