George Scatchard came to Vermont in 1960 to set up his first pottery shop. He taught ceramics at the University of Vermont while continuing to create pottery in his own rural studio. The mix of clay and custom glazes developed through years of experimentation, in combination with the high fire reduction process, resulted in a highly durable and beautiful stoneware product. His lamp bases are simple, attractive, and timeless. In 2012, Scatchard Stoneware was acquired by American Lighting Brands and moved to the company’s House of Troy factory in Hyde Park.
