Peters and Reed Pottery was established by John D. Peters and Adam Reed in 1899. Located in South Zanesvile, Ohio, the company used the local red clay to create its first functional and later decorative art ware. In 1921, Peters and Reed changed its name to The Zane Pottery Company, where it was then run by employee-turned-owner Harry S. McClelland. Many of the art pottery lines produced by Peters and Reed Pottery were continued by Zane Pottery. Zane Pottery continued under McClelland and his family until 1941, at which time the company was sold to Gonder Ceramic Art Pottery Company.
