About Burley Clay Products Company
The Burley Clay Products Company started producing large stoneware crocks and jugs in 1923. In 1933, the company switched focus to the production of birdbaths and garden pottery. The products are made in the U.S.A. and are manufactured using a unique blend of the finest clay from southeastern Ohio mines. This area is world-famous for its stoneware clay, and Burley Clay mixes produce the strongest, most attractive stoneware available in the world. The birdbaths and larger products are made by the rarely used method of jiggering. It takes an artisan many years to learn how to do this and the knowledge is usually passed down through families.
