"In 1871, the same year of the great Chicago fire, a young
German immigrant named David H. Haeger founded the company originally known as
the Dundee Brickyard.
Over the next 130 years under four
generations of family leadership, this small town brickmaker was to become America's oldest and largest production pottery.
David
Haeger, with the help of one of his sons, Edmund H. Haeger, began laying the
groundwork for their company's
transition from brickmakers to artisans. By 1900, the year of David H. Haeger's passing, the company was already making simple
red clay flower pots for the florist trade. Edmund Haeger, with his artistic
vision, was to complete the metamorphosis from Haeger Bricks to Haeger
Potteries.
Haeger Potteries, internationally
known as the exclusive designers and craftsmen of Royal Haeger ceramic artware,
produce the most collected accessories for the home - destined to continue into
the 21st Century and beyond," writes Alexandra Haeger Estes, the great granddaughter of the founder, David H. Haeger, and current president of Haeger Potteries and president of the parent company, Haeger Industries.
