Haeger Art Pottery
David H. Haeger came to the United States from Germany, founding a small Illinois company in 1871 that took the original name of the Dundee Brickyard for the bricks and tile they made to rebuild Chicago after the great fire as well as other Midwestern cities and towns. However, David Haeger and his son Edmund had aspirations to rise beyond brick making and into a leadership position in the design and production of art pottery in the U.S. The company first used its skills with clay in the manufacture of bricks to begin making small and simple earthenware pots for wholesale and retail sale.

David Haeger died in 1900, but Edmund continued experimenting with ever more sophisticated designs and glazes, changing the name of the company to Haeger Potteries. Royal Haeger is still best known for their animals, birds, and other figurines as well as the manifestations of these designs in lamps and lighting. Haeger is probably the best known manufacturer of 1950s TV lamps which have emerged as a major collecting area in themselves. Still a family operation, Alexandra Haeger Estes became President of Haeger Potteries in 1979.
