Artifact Overview
Cadman Robertson joined Hampshire Pottery in 1904 and began developing decorative household items covered with an attractive thick brown, red, blue, or green glaze. The Keene, New Hampshire, company continued to produce similar wares for a few years after Robertson's sudden death in 1914. The company was sold in 1917 and focused on making commercial China for restaurants and hotels. The factory closed in 1923.
