Description
Trenton Pottery Co. (1852-1890) was founded by James Taylor and Henry Speeler. Originially the pottery was named Taylor & Speeler until 1860 when Speeler sold his interest in the company. It became the Trenton Pottery Co. in 1865. In 1875, Isaac Davis became the sole owner and although the pottery was still called Trenton Pottery, it was actually J. Davis Pottery. Trenton Pottery is NOT the same company as Trenton Potteries.
