Georgetown Pottery

Specialties

Georgetown Pottery has been handcrafting fine porcelain pottery since 1972. With a flare for style and consciousness of function, we have created a style of pottery that is beautiful enough to display, yet durable enough for everyday use. We take pride in making each piece by hand here at our Georgetown studio (ask for a tour). Our offerings include items for the kitchen, bath, dining room, garden and home. Our brushwork patterns celebrate the beauty of Maine, while our exquisite glazes are vibrant and colorful.

Our pottery is complimented by select local and American crafts. Come see our wonderful selection of jewelry, glass, crafts and exceptional gifts you will not find anywhere else.

History

Established in 1972.

In June of 1971, when Jeff Peters decided to embark on a cross-​country road trip to Maine with two college friends and sixty dollars, he had no idea his life was about to change. Raised in California, Jeff had never been to the east coast and immediately fell in love with Maine’s rocky coast, its people and the small fishing village of Georgetown. After spending the summer in Georgetown he decided to forgo the last year of his ceramics degree in New Mexico, and in 1972 began Georgetown Potter y in a one-​room log cabin on the way to Reid State Park. With hard work and lots of luck the business slowly grew and Jeff was able to stop working his par t time jobs and focus solely on the pottery. Nearly 40 years later the Georgetown Potter y is still handcrafting fine porcelain on the coast of Maine. The log cabin has been made into a showroom, but the mission remains unchanged – to create beautiful and cleverly designed, functional potter y that’s made to be used and last generations.
