Ohio Pottery

[feliciakw]

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to stop in at Starbucks soon.

Ohio used to have a booming pottery business, the most widely known stamp probably being Fiesta (as in the multicolored Fiestaware). Hull pottery was also very popular, as was the similar-looking McCoy pottery. And of course Roseville pottery. All from Ohio.

Next time you go pottery shopping check the stamp on the bottom.

Good luck! :D They've disappeared as soon as they've appeared around here (NYS) and a friend in Ohio says they have waiting lists!

I got one as soon as they appeared, but it helps that I walk past a Starbucks on the way to work. My only complaint about the Indivisible mug is that you can't put it in the microwave to reheat your coffee if it gets cold. But, hey, made in Ohio...!
