Pottery Marks and Pottery Markings

American Made Pottery
Pottery Marks can be found on the underside of most pieces of pottery. Whether you found an interesting piece of pottery at a flea market, or have been storing a piece, turn it upside down and take a look for the mark on the bottom. It may provide insight as to where, when, and by whom it was produced.This page will primarily focus on early American manufactured pottery and their unique pottery marks. An interesting thing about American made pottery is that unlike early British made pottery, that often followed an unchanging style pattern, American made pottery often spanned the spectrum in styles. There is quite a wide variety of American made pottery. Edwin A. Barber published a comprehensive pottery marks book in 1904 primarily dealing with pottery marks used prior to 1900. A common historical demarcation used is 1920. Works created prior to 1920 often have decisively different pottery marks than those created after 1920. Prior to World War I with American participation during the years 1917-1918, the perception was that European pottery was superior to that of American Potters, and therefore many of the pottery marks closely resembled those of European manufacturers. However, after World War I, a new found patriotism existed, and American potters began using more Americanized pottery markings including much greater use of the words, American, and USA. American companies began modernizing their facilities and improving their abilities to manufacture pottery. Many companies that did not follow suit quickly dissolved. In 1917, the Lenox Company was invited to supply fine porcelain to the White House. This was a first, as European companies previously always supplied fine dinnerware to the White House. American pottery manufacturing was quite strong between 1930’s and 1950’s. However, the 1950’s began to see erosion of the American pottery market as the Asian imports began to arrive and undercut the American pottery. It's fascinating how so much pottery was manufactured in Ohio. In 1839-1840, James Bennett, a trained English potter, began this chief industry in East Liverpool, Ohio. As you peruse the various pottery marks, note how many are from East Liverpool, Steubenville, and East Palestine, all locations in the eastern region of Ohio. Although other individuals had used the natural clay resources to produce pottery, Bennett was the first to successfully manufacture and market this product. Potting in those days was all done by hand and "throwing" on a potters wheel was the only method of forming the ware. The finished product would then be taken in wagons to markets around the countryside or on trading boats down the Ohio River. Pottery would be traded for anything that would be valuable back home in East Liverpool. Upon returning from a successful trip the hard working potters would be paid with these bartered goods and work would begin on another kiln (pronounced kill) of ware. Other potteries sprang up and East Liverpool became known as "Crockery City" and was the only community in the United States wholly devoted to the manufacture of pottery.Again for our purposes on this page, we will only be identifying American made pottery marks. So take a look at the piece in question, and look for any Country indication. If there is a country name and it is not USA or America, for the time being, you will have to use another source other than Brothers Handmade. If the pottery mark has a company name, you can use the search field to find if it is listed on the site. Or you can scan down through the company names listed, and select the one that applies. Look for other identifying words on the pottery mark. But note that words such as: warranted, ironstone china, semi porcelain, and semi vitreous can be a bit misleading and not really provide much useful identifying information.

An interesting note is that many early American pottery marks actually had the British coat of arms displayed. The British coat of arms includes a lion, shield, unicorn, and crown on top. The reason being is that despite the fine quality of the American made potter, the general perception was that British pottery was of better quality. So early American potters often used this in their pottery marks so as not to turn off prospective buyers. Fortunately, these early American potters also included their company names along with the coat of arms. This is key in identifying such works. Books used for researching these pottery marks include: - Jervis, W. Percival. A Book of Pottery, Porcelain, and Clay. Paducah, KY. Collector Books, 1988
- Barber, Edwin AtLee. The Pottery and Porcelain of the United States. Putnam and Sons. 1909
- Kovel, Ralph M. The Kovels' American art pottery : the collector's guide to makers, marks, and factory histories. Crown Publishers, 1993
- DeBolt, C. Gerald. DeBolt's Dictionary of American Pottery Marks, White and Porcelain. Paducah, KY. Collector Books. 1994
