Heavy and well made, imagine it filled with flowers or a few decorative branches. Holds its own on a shelf, mantle or table. Color is closest to sky blue vs. photos that make it appear more turquoise.

Haeger Potteries had humble beginnings in Dundee, Illinois, first opening in 1871, to manufacture bricks. Edmund Haeger, the son of founder David H. Haeger, transitioned to creating art pottery in 1914, with the help of talented Martin Stangl.

The company’s history proved itself adaptable—the classic Arts and Crafts designs of early Haeger developed into Art Deco in the 1920s, before dabbling in “Old World” motifs and Pueblo Indian art methodologies. Haeger Potteries include shapes like the nostalgic Greek vases in the early Adam and Eve collection as well as the ebony black, high-gloss panthers so popular in the 1950s and now again today.

Artists of Haeger Potteries include Martin Stangl and Royal Hickman, who both left to start their own companies. Others, such as Sebastiano Maglio, Eric Olsen, and C. Glen Richardson, among many others collaboratively upheld the 145 years of design and class of Haeger Potteries. See less
