Description
Crown Pottery began somewhere between 1892 and 1902. The pottery under a different name was built by A. M. Beck. After his death, a company taking the name Crown Pottery was formed. Amount 1900, the pottery combined with Peoria Pottery Co. of Peoria, Illinois to form Crown Pottery Inc.
To date the only known pieces decorated in gold lustre and the Tea Plum motif bearing this company's mark is a child's tea set.
