Christian E. Brockmann

Brockmann Pottery Company was organized by Christian E. Brockmann in 1887.  Originally the pottery was established by Messrs. Tempest, Brockmann & Co. in 1862 and used the English lion and unicorn mark with T. B. & Co. underneath.  In 1881, the name was changed to Tempest, Brockmann & Sampson Pottery Co.  After 1887 when it became Brockmann Pottery Co., the same English lion and unicorn mark was used; however, beneath the mark appeared the letters B. P. Co.  The pottery was located in the West End of Cincinnati on Richmond Street.  Mr. Brockmann sold his cream and white granite wares along with other goods out of a building on Main street in Cincinnati.  After his death in 1903, the pottery was managed by his son, Christian F. Brockmann.  The pottery closed in 1912.
