Description
Crescent Pottery (aka Cook & Hancock) was in operation from 1881 to 1906. It was founded by Charles H. Cook and W. S. Hancock. They organized and operated the pottery independently until 1892 when they joined with five other potteries to form the Trenton Potteries. These six potteries operated independently as well as part of the combined Trenton Potteries.
