just a little history on Monmouth pottery... Monmouth pottery was made in the United States, specifically in Monmouth, Illinois. The original Monmouth Pottery Company was founded there in 1894 and later became one of the plants of the Western Stoneware Company in 1906.
- Origins: The Monmouth Pottery Company started in 1894 in Monmouth, Illinois, producing functional stoneware like crocks and jugs.
- Acquisition: In 1906, the company was acquired and became part of the larger Western Stoneware Company, which had plants in Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa.
- Production: Monmouth pottery was manufactured in the United States throughout its existence, first as an independent company and later as part of Western Stoneware.
- Marks: Pieces made before 1906 are often marked with "Monmouth CO." or a maple leaf, while pieces made after 1906 may have an engraved "Monmouth Pottery, Monmouth, Ill." mark or be part of the Western Stoneware line.
