Hull Pottery began production in 1905 in Crooksville under the leadership of Addis Emmet (A.E.) Hull. The company’s early lines consisted of common utilitarian stoneware, semi-porcelain dinnerware and decorative tile. Hull continued production in Crooksville for the next several decades. During that time, the company introduced dozens of different lines, including artistic/decorative lines, cookie jars, dinnerware, planters and novelty pieces. Hull even survived a flood and fire in the 1950s. In the late 1960s through the mid-1980s, the company changed its production from artistic lines to predominantly House ‘n’ Garden serving ware and Imperial florist ware. Hull Pottery closed in 1986.
