SHEFFIELD POTTERY
Sheffield, MA - In the fall of 1943, Joseph and Marie Cowen, newly married, purchased a large farm near the Housatonic River. They raised cows, chickens, and sheep, and sold produce at their roadside farm stand. After seeing an article about pottery in a family magazine, Joe and Marie hauled a bucket of clay from the clay pit on their land to see if they could use this resource to make a living. From Marie's first cup and Joe's first saucer came the beginnings of the present-day Sheffield Pottery, Inc.

I believe it was in the 50's that my mother would take us to Sheffield Pottery. I now have the items she bought. They look like new. I was cleaning out a closet and found the items which prompted me to see if you are still in business. I Googled you and to my surprise I found you. What a happy memory.
