Newcomb Pottery produced art pottery for nearly 50 years, thru the 1940’s. The earliest pieces made between 1900 and 1910, are the rarest and most valuable. They were usually blue-green in color.

After 1910, matte-glaze pieces with relief designs featuring bayou scenes and native flora were more common. They all had the NC mark. Newcomb Pottery won prizes in major exhibitions around the world.
