Description |
The Hull Pottery Company (1905-1986), formerly Acme Pottery Company, began in 1905 under the ownership of Addis E. Hull in Crooksville, Ohio. By 1917, the company began producing Art Pottery for stores, and by 1921 the pottery was selling at a high volume. In 1925 the firm is believed to have produced 3 million pieces of pottery. A fire in 1950 burned the Hull Pottery plant to the ground, but by 1952 production had been restored. The company continued producing pottery until it closed in 1986. |
