In the 1800s, the Goodwin brothers started a Yellow
Ware Pottery in Hartford, CT. Asa Hill and L.V. Wheeler, Norwich Pottery Works, Chase Chamberlain, Sutenburg, Sidney
Risely, Noad and George Day and the Smith Pottery all started potteries in Norwich and Norwalk and made stoneware and yellow
ware, some as late as 1895. Many other potteries in New England started using these same clays to make Stoneware and
Salt Glazed pottery. Bennington Pottery in Vermont still makes the same famous pottery today using these buff clays.
By
the 1850s the demand for Yellow Ware was so high that large potteries in Ohio turned out thousands of pieces every year until
the 1930s. Around that time, tastes changed to china with fine lines and decals, and the era of Yellow
Ware came to an end.
There are still a few large potteries in operation using buff clays.
Roseville in Ohio and TG Green in England are still making factory-produced Yellow Ware pottery using molds.
