Stangl Pottery has a history of no less than 196 years. It’s founder, Samuel Hill used to produce storage crocks and jars, jars that were quite famous as they used to be made from the red earthenware clay from Flemmington. As the products soon begun to be very popular, in 1920 a new headquarters have been built for Stangl Pottery, fact that allowed them to produce even more items, but at a better quality.

Though, despite all the investments, in 1935 they had to sell their headquarters and move back into a smaller center. This was a tough period for them, as they were forced to maintain the quality – the Stangl Pottery was already known to be among the finest. As well, they were forced to restrain their selling activities to one single showroom. For the moment this was a clever movement for Stangl Pottery, as people from all over the country, and not only, used to come and look for bargains and pottery of a high quality. Though, this wasn’t enough to sustain the activity of the company.

From 1935 to 1978, the only showroom of Stangl Pottery was more of a tourist attraction point. As Stangl Pottery ceased its production in the late 70’s and they still had lots of items left in their stocks, they were forced to maintain the activity of the showroom. Though, in order to get rid as fast as possible of the stocks, they had to give lots of bargains, and even more, lots of promotions and deals, fact that attracted visitors from all the country, but only for a short period of time, until the finest pottery items got sold. Nowadays, the factory is closed, and so is the showroom, but the Stangl Pottery products can still be found on the Internet, especially on the online marketplaces, places where they are considered to be rare objects. This is why their price is somehow bigger then the normal retail prices. But after all, this is quite normal for any marketplace.
