Do you or someone you know collect pottery? Do you know anything about the history of collectible brands of pottery? If not, you might find some of these facts interesting. If you don’t collect pottery, consider that it is not only a fun hobby, but it can also be profitable. Unique pieces can grow in value over time, and you can earn a profit from your collection, eventually. If you decide to hang on to your pottery collection, you can use it to decorate your room, home, front yard, or back yard.

There are a number of quality historical pottery brands out there. These include Hull, Roseville, McCoy, Frankoma, and Bennington Potters. Here is a little information on each of these successful pottery business owners.

The story of Hull Pottery, from its early stoneware items to a full-scale business, is a rich history. The company is most famous for its Little Red Riding Hood cookie jar, a piece surrounded by a great deal of controversy.

Frankoma began in 1933 and continued production through to 2004, when it was sold. Best known for its green glaze, Frankoma pieces have only recently gained a great deal of popularity with collectors.

McCoy Pottery produced a vast list of pieces throughout its eighty-year history. Despite many corporate and structural changes, McCoy prevailed as a successful American pottery company.

The success of Roseville pottery, an American company that began in 1890, is another interesting story. Roseville pieces remain one of the most popular lines in collectible history.

Bennington Potters began in the mid-1960s and currently offers a variety of stoneware products. The pieces range from basic to stylish to contemporary, yet maintain the integrity of creator, David Gil.

As you can tell from these stories, pottery has been an old, traditional family business for some. You might not be able to make your own pottery, or start your own pottery business, per se, but you can certainly collect pottery. You can also pass it down through generation after generation. Think of the value it may have for your great-grandchildren.

Whether you decide to keep your pottery collection and pass it down to family, or sell it online or at an auction for profit, collecting pottery is a fulfilling hobby. The more you know about its history, the more intrinsic value it can have for you. Learn about pottery, and maybe you will decide to collect it on your own.
