In 1871 a German immigrant named David H. Haeger became the part owner of a brickyard along the Fox River in Dundee, Illinois. It had opened in 1852 and never turned a profit, even though it used clay straight from the river’s bank, and within a year Haeger was the sole owner and had extended the business to include tiles. The rapid turn of fortune was due to Haeger shipping bricks to the city of Chicago after the Great Fire of 1871, which generated goodwill and substantial patronage by citizens all over Illinois. By the 1920s the brickyard’s production included teaware, luncheon wear, crystal, and glassware. At the Century of Progress Exposition in 1934 in Chicago, Haeger Potteries exhibit included a working ceramic factory where souvenir pottery was made, which attracted Royal Arden Hickman (1893-1969) to join the company. His line, “Royal Haeger,” was so successful that he became their chief designer from 1938 through 1944. In the 1950s Hickman left the company to work as a freelancer, but continued to contribute designs to Haeger for the rest of his life. The original Haeger Potteries Plant is still standing, and is a key site in the Dundee Township Historic District. Haeger also had a plant in Macomb, Illinois, which has since been demolished. Alexandra Haeger Estes, great granddaughter of founder David Haeger, became president of the company in 1979. She announced on April 6th, 2016 that Haeger Potteries would be closing the following month, ending 145 years of business.
Condition
Small chip in glaze on one figure. Signs of repair on tail of one panther.
