Lyons Co-operative Pottery Limited
The Lyons, New York pottery began early in the 19th century and, circa 1850, was under the ownership of Nathan Clark, Jr., who was succeeded in 1867 by Thompson Harrington. In 1872 Jacob Fisher took over the pottery and operated it until 1902, the last individual proprietorship at the pottery.
From 1902 to 1904 the pottery was operated as the Lyons Co-operative Pottery Company.
From the 1850′s a variety of incised potter’s marks were used including: LYONS over a dog’s head, T. HARRINGTON/LYONS (in an arc), MADE/BY/T HARRINGTON/HARTFORD/CONN. and J. FISHER:CO/LYONS/NY (in an elispe with arrows). A potentially confusing mark, “Lyons Stoneware Co./Established 1825″, was used by the Cooperative only after 1902. They also used the mark “LYONS CO-OPERATIVE/POTTERY LIMITED.
