Owens Pottery of North Carolina, also known as Original Owens Pottery is the oldest, continuously-operating pottery in North Carolina.[1] [2] It sells a variety of traditional, functional clay products and is best known for its difficult-to-produce fire red glazed pottery. Owens Pottery is currently owned and operated by Boyd Owens.
Owens Pottery was founded in 1895 by James H. Owens, who was born in 1866, son of Franklin Owen. The Owens family has been involved in pottery since the early 1800s.[3]
