Hull Pottery

I have always loved Hull Pottery.  The color and shapes of the vases are fascinating.  We had many pieces in our home when I was growing up.  A lot of them were wedding gifts to my parents who were married in 1949.
These beautiful vases are also favored by many collectors and there is even a Hull Pottery Association.


The Hull Pottery Company began manufacturing in 1905 in Crooksville, Ohio.  The first items were dishware and utilitarian items.  In 1917 they began making art pottery. The most collectible pieces were made from the 1930's through the 1950's.

The pieces made before 1950 were marked Hull USA and Hull Art USA on the bottom.  They may have paper tags as well.  After 1950 the bottoms were marked Hull in script or block letters.  Every piece is marked with an item number.
