The pottery of Cowden & Wilcox in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has achieved legendary status as one of the key stoneware manufactories in the Mid-Atlantic region. Producing New York State-style stoneware in Pennsylvania's capital city, the Cowden family left behind countless vessels that were made over a six-decade period, beginning the 1860's. Masterworks featured on this page display the breadth of high-level pottery that Cowden & Wilcox was capable of achieving.
