  • Details
    The Cameron Pottery Co. was established in 1904 in Cameron, NC as a manufacturer of dinnerware.
    In 1907 the plant was purchased by Elger plumbingware, where the first vitreous china toilet tank was developed. Pieces of their round tanks can still be found at the site.
    By the mid-1940's the plant had been sold again, and began producing the art pottery it is known for today as Cameron Clay Products, including the distinctive tulip markings on their ovenware.
    In November of 1964, after being sold again, the entire building burned to the ground in a spectacular fire just days before reopening. No specific cause of the fire was ever determined, and the company did not rebuild. Cameron Nursing and Rehab Center stands on the old pottery site at present. Pottery shreds and original plaster molds can still be found in the creek and the creek bank.
