Dedham Pottery was the great achievement of internationally acclaimed master pottery Hugh Cornwall Robertson. In 1896, Robertson moved his arts and crafts style pottery to Dedham MA where his hand-decorated line of art ceramics was an instant success. The pottery ceased operation on April 17, 1943 and Gimbel’s Department Store handled the final sale of the contents. The Dedham Historical Society owns an extensive collection of Dedham Pottery.
