PATRICIAN ANTIQUES : American Wares

Pottery and Porcelain

Tucker Porcelain c.1828      SOLD

American ceramics were made initially for practical purposes to fill the need for useful wares. Early attempts were watched jealously by the makers in England who responded to competition by flooding the market. In the mid 19th century however many skilled potters emigrated from England & Europe and set up business in the Ohio area. The pottery business grew rapidly and a wide variety of useful items were made as well as fashionable ornament wares. Pottery manufacture spread west with the population expansion and by the 20th century California had joined the pottery producing states. Porcelain was more difficult to manufacture. Tucker was the first successful porcelain venture. Later the Belleek formula was adopted and used by Willetts, Ott & Brewer and Lenox among others.
