We at Westmoore Pottery have an interest in preserving a piece of our past.
Our ware is made in the old traditions, with the look and feel of pottery of the 17th, 18th,
and early 19th centuries, up to around 1850. A special interest of ours is pottery which was used in the early days of North Carolina; this includes pottery made in England, Germany, New England, Pennsylvania, and of course pottery made in the central area of North Carolina.
We produce several types of pottery:
REDWARE, both plain and decorated
SALT-GLAZED STONEWARE, and
GREEN GLAZED WARES.
Westmoore Pottery is known for our quality work in two areas:
1) Historically correct pottery as was used in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries, and
2) Pottery that is only loosely inspired by wares of the past, perhaps our most individual and creative work.
Each of these has unique joys and challenges.
We are a small company that has been in business since 1977.
Potters David and Mary Farrell do everything, from making the pots,
to waiting on customers in our retail store, to mopping the floors!
We like being a small business and intend to stay small. It gives us great joy to be able to present to the American public a product that still has the heart, soul, and pride of the makers behind it.
