The Teco pottery was founded in Terra Cotta Illinois by William D. Gates in 1881
for production of drain tile, brick and Architectual items. Gates used company
facilities to experiment with clays and glazes in an effort to design a line of
Art Pottery. This led him to discover the soft waxy matte green which was to
become the hallmark of a line of Art Pottery which he called Teco. Teco Art
Pottery was introduced to the public in 1902. The manufacturer's presence has
extended to vases, wall pockets, beer sets, beer pots, bowl
planters,centerbowls, flower pots, grease jar, jars, jam pot, cornucopia,
creamer, cookie jar, canisters, consoles, Serving bowls, bookends, compote,
cigarette boxes, conch shell, console set, candleholder, bulb bowl, busts,
canister set, bookends,lamps, pitchers, jardinieres, incence burners, ashtray,
humidors. baskets, powder jars, temple jars, water coolers, pill boxes, lidded
boxes, washing pots. The matte green glaze which often resembled tha patina of acient bronze
artifacts was developed independently and was not an attempt to copy the
Grueby green glazes. During this time a high
glaze crystalline ware was produced in limited quantaties and highly
valued by todays collectors.
