Information on Watt Pottery |
Between the years 1922 to 1935 Watt Pottery manufactured stoneware containers in Crooksville, Ohio. They started to manufacture kitchen ware from 1935 to 1965. Some of the most popular patterns are Apple, Starflower, Rooster, Tulip, Autumn Foliage, and Pansy. Apple is the most popular pattern. Originally the Apple had three leaves. And after 1958 they used two leaves. So you can tell how old your apple piece is by counting the leaves. Some of the kitchen ware is: mixing bowls, cookie jar, covered casseroles, spaghetti bowls, plates, pitchers, bean pots, and dinnerware sets. The Watt pottery was hand painted with red, green, or blue which contrasts with the yellowish tan of the base. On October 4, 1965 fire completely destroyed the factory and the warehouse. They never rebuilt the company, but people are still collecting this pottery and are excited when they find that special piece that they are looking for. Sue and Dave Morris’s book on Identification and Value Guide of Watt Pottery was very helpful in written this article. This book was written in 1993.
