What is white hall pottery?

White Hall Pottery was a pottery company based in White Hall, Illinois, that produced stoneware items from the late 1800s until the early 1900s. The company was founded by William Hull and his son Henry Hull in 1861 and operated until the early 1900s. Its signature products were jars, crocks, and jugs which were decorated with blue markings and logos.

The white Hall Pottery became well known, especially due to the quality of its stoneware products, which were highly durable and attributed to the company's success. The pottery used locally sourced clay, and all of the processes in making the stoneware were done by hand.

Today, White Hall Pottery is considered a rare collector's item and is highly sought after by collectors of antique stoneware. Although the company ceased production many years ago, the quality and craftsmanship of their products are still appreciated by collectors today.
