“The Best American Pottery”
House Beautiful Magazine – 1897
Dedham Pottery® is the great achievement of internationally acclaimed master arts and crafts potter Hugh Cornwall Robertson. His genius led him to develop ox blood red, volcanic glazes, and the perfection of an intentional crackled glaze for which Dedham Pottery is so well-known and regarded. The popular Dedham Pottery rabbit trademark and design is loved and revered by many.
Dedham Pottery was produced in Dedham, MA, from 1896 to 1943.
