The company started as a Dundee, Illinois brickyard along the Fox River in 1852, using clay from the riverbank. David H. Haeger, a German immigrant, became part owner of the Dundee Brickyard in 1871. Within a year Haeger was sole owner and had extended the business to include tiles. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Haegar shipped bricks into the city to help rebuild Chicago. By the 1920s the brickyard’s production included teaware, luncheonware, crystal and glassware. At the Century of Progress Exposition in 1934 in Chicago, Haeger Potteries’ exhibit included a working ceramic factory where souvenir pottery was made.
In 1934, Royal Arden Hickman (1893-1969) joined the firm to design a line of artware sold under the brand name “Royal Haeger”.
Haeger pieces have become collectible in recent years. In 2016, the company ceased operations and pieces like this statue have become very collectible and sought after.
