About the Maker:

Founded in 1871 in Dundee, Illinois, Haeger Potteries became one of America’s most beloved art pottery manufacturers. The Royal Haeger line, introduced in the 1930s, showcased elegant forms and innovative glazes that defined mid-century style. Production ceased in 2016, making earlier Haeger pieces increasingly sought after by collectors.
