Collecting Mary Hadley Pottery

Mary Hadley stoneware pottery started in 1939 in Louisville, Kentucky.

I started collecting Mary Hadley pottery years ago as both my mother and grandmother collected the pottery. Many of my pieces have come from my mother and grandmother. Displaying and using the pottery brings me such joy.

I was lucky a few years ago and got a box lot at the local auction adding to be extensive collection.

I collect all the patterns but primarily the country pattern and coastal patterns.

My first recollection of purchasing Mary Hadley was in Orleans, MA. Years later, I found it in a store near State College, PA.

Now, when we go to antique stores, flea markets, or Brimfield we are on the lookout for additional pieces.  In recent years, we have had the most luck finding new pieces at the Arundel Antique Village Group Shop in Arundel, ME.

We always look forward to racing to see who will find the first piece when we are out antique shopping!

  1. I have inherited a large collection of The Country pattern . Are you interested in purchasing any of the pieces? I have become a minimalist and live in a small apartment. I do not have room for all of the collection. Thank you.
