Hampshire Pottery-
Hampshire Pottery was founded in 1871, starting their productions in Keene, New Hampshire. They began their journey making stoneware and red ware, then on to producing majolica in 1879. In 1883 they began making colored glaze wares such as olive green, blue, mahogany, and pink- with their Matte Green glaze the most popular. Due to WW1, they closed down and ceased making pottery. Reopening after the war, they produced tiles, white china, and dinnerware for restaurants and hotels but eventually closed indefinitely in 1923.
