Blue Mountain Pottery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue Mountain Pottery was a Canadian pottery company located in Collingwood, Ontario. It was founded in 1947 and closed its plant for good in 2004. It produced various types of pottery, from animal figurines to jugs, pots and vases. The company's products have a large fan base and are collected world-wide.

Blue Mountain Pottery items feature a unique, trademarked glazing process known as "reflowing decorating." Two different liquid glazes, one light and one dark in color, were applied. During the firing process the glazes would run, creating streaking patterns unique to each piece.

Blue Mountain Pottery items were available in the traditional green hues, but also in Harvest Gold, Cobalt Blue, Mocha, Pewter, Red, and Brown.

Many similar items have been called "Blue Mountain Pottery" by uninformed or unscrupulous sellers, so buyers should be careful when purchasing such items sight unseen.
