Story
In the small town of Dundee, Illinois, the Haeger family built a ceramic empire that lasted for over 145 years, surviving everything from the Great Chicago Fire to the Great Depression.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1871 by David Haeger, the company originally made bricks that helped rebuild Chicago after the fire.
Condition & Value
The glaze appears to be in excellent condition with a high gloss and no visible crazing or chips. The original foil sticker is a significant plus for collectors. While Haeger is highly collectible, this specific later-period cylindrical form is relatively common.
