Salmon Falls Pottery was founded by Andy Cochran in 1986 and has grown into the business you find today. Each item is handmade, it's shape, size, and design reflected by each of the individual potters. This pottery is lead free and microwavable. I confess I have collected a lot of seconds over the years, but one would never know. At one point the pottery published a news letter, included discount coupons and operated a seconds outlet, however, due to economic times, both no longer exist. So, if you reside close by and looking for something new to collect I highly recommend this beautiful pottery. And yes, I can always find room for one more piece!

COLLECTING...
One of the items I enjoy collecting is Salmon Falls Pottery. Fortunately for me the shop and studio is located just up the road a piece from the Historic Hamilton House. Located in Dover, New Hampshire, off the beaten path, Salmon Falls makes it home in a former train engine house.

I am a collector, too, of many things. It is so much fun to add to the collections. Please share more of the pottery with us :)
Hugs :)

How neat that they are in a train engine house.I really enjoyed learning more about the company behind this beautiful pottery.I have only a couple of pieces but love them.Hugs,Jen
Oh gosh those pieces are gorgeous! Good thing I don't live nearby as I would want to spend a fortune!!!
If I lived close I bet I would collect it. By the time it gets out here it is just so expensive. Not to mention you just don't see very much of it.
I always like the little history lessons you give. I always feel like I learn so much. Have a lovely week and I hope it is cooler there in Maine.
What pretty pottery pieces. I'm not a collector, but a few pieces of pottery have attached themselves to me and I've grown attached to them!
What pretty pottery!
Thanks for the history lesson. I collect salt glazed pottery, my husband gave me some many years ago for Christmas. My first pieces were from Wisconsin but now I mostly collect Salmon Falls, I just went about 2 weeks ago and picked up a small crock in the seconds area for $3.
Nice stuff, how cool that they are in a train engine house, love it.
