Hampshire pottery was made in Keene, New Hampshire, between 1871 and 1923. Hampshire developed a line of colored-glaze wares as early as 1883, including a Royal Worcester–type pink, olive green, blue, and mahogany. Pieces are marked with the printed mark or the impressed name Hampshire Pottery or J.S.T. & Co., Keene, N.H. (Jamees Scollay Taft). Many pieces were marked with city names and sold as souvenirs. Hampshire Pottery was one of the American makers of majolica. For more information, explore our identification guides for majolica and nineteenth- and twentieth-century American potteries.
