McCarty Pottery: Love. Life. Clay

Lee and Pup McCarty worked side by side for 64 years. In 1954, the McCartys lived and worked in a mule barn in Merigold, Mississippi, creating together a pottery design that would become nationally and internationally known. The trademarked “river,” a small black wavy line would become synonymous with the signature glazes of nutmeg brown, cobalt blue, and jade.
