Hull pottery

Hull pottery was formed in 1905 in Crooksville, OH, by Addis Emmet Hull. They originally made stoneware and stoneware specialties.

In the 1920's Hull began to make art pottery. In the 1930's they added their popular kitchen figurines like cookie jars and banks.

The company suffered in 1950 due to a flood followed by a serious fire. The recovered and continued operation until 1986.

Pieces made before 1950 are marked "Hull Art USA" or "Hull USA". Pieces made after 1950 are simply marked "Hull" in script or block letters.

Be careful, there are reproductions out there. A good source for information on how to avoid a reproduction is the Hull Pottery Association.

The piece that I pictured at the top is Hull Blossom flight, This pattern was made in 1955.
