North Dakota Pottery Collectors Society

The North Dakota Pottery Collectors Society is an organization, which was created to enhance collecting interest in the types of pottery made in North Dakota.

Pottery products utilizing North Dakota clay were produced during the twentieth century by a number of enterprising companies, federal programs for North Dakota and the School of Mines Ceramics Department at the University of North Dakota.
