Description
This pottery covered dish was made by Clara Maude Cobb Hilton (1885-1969) during the 1930s. The hen is made from red clay, possibly local, which has been painted and coated with a clear glaze. Hilton Pottery was a family pottery which made functional pottery starting just after the Civil War. The pottery, originally located in Catawba County, moved to McDowell County in 1934. Clara Hilton took over the pottery after her husband's death, adding a line of decorative work and figurines for which she became known. Subsequent generations of this extended family continue to run potteries throughout the region.
