About Marblehead Pottery:
When Dr. Herbert J. Hall started the Marblehead Pottery in 1904, it was a therapy for patients at his Devereux Sanitarium. His therapeutic workshop evolved into a business, and in 1915, Arthur Baggs took over the production operation and continued to produce the pottery until 1936. Marblehead Pottery is characterized by its simplicity of form and decoration, as well as its distinctive matte glazes. It is now collected by people worldwide.
