The History of Sheffield Fine China
Sheffield Pottery Inc. is a pottery and China manufacturer headquartered
in Sheffield, Massachusetts, since 1946. The company specializes in fine China
for the home and creates pottery for the garden. Sheffield uses natural
Sheffield clay mined on its own property and also supplies other potters with
clay. The Sheffield Pottery story begins near the Housatonic River with
a quiet farm, purchased in the fall of 1943 by newlyweds Joseph and Marie
Cowen. They raised cows, chicken and sheep, and made extra money by selling
produce from a roadside stand. Marie Cowen happened to read an article about
pottery in a family magazine and immediately thought about a large clay pit
they had found on their farm. They hauled a bucket of clay up to the house to
see if they could make something of it. Marie made a cup and Joe, a saucer.
They took to their new craft, and a whole new business was born. The Cowen’s fledgling pottery business did so
well that within three years of buying their farm, they sold off all their
animals and turned the barn into a showroom, where they sold handmade pottery,
they fired in a tiny 6-inch-by-6-inch kiln. They quickly achieved a reputation
for quality, and in December 1949 Sheffield Pottery was prominently featured in
Redbook magazine. The company continued to grow over the years as Joseph and
Marie Cowen raised three children. By 1965, according to Sheffield Pottery's website,
the Cowen’s had bought a clay mixer, a pugmill and a large railroad-car kiln.
They incorporated their company, enlarged their original building to
accommodate the giant new kiln, and began selling ceramic supplies and clays in
addition to their pottery and fine China.
