Old Edgefield Pottery

​​Produced in South Carolina for over 200 years . . .

​

     Dr. Abner Landrum is credited with establishing the Edgefield Pottery tradition in the first decade of the 1800’s. Using local materials and his extensive knowledge, he began to produce a fine stoneware that was food safe and could be sold to markets up to 150 miles away. From this origin, dozens of other potteries sprang up across Edgefield District and created wares from that time until the present, ​going through various changes and technologies. For over two centuries, Edgefield Pottery was made by such famous names as Landrum, Chandler, Rhodes, Storke, Dave Drake, Miles, Baynham, and Hahn. The tradition was carried into North Carolina and across the South to Texas.
