Shipping – *Free to the Lower 48 States (see below)Please review all pictures carefully as they are considered part of the description.The name UHL has been connected with the pottery industry for the past century – perhaps longer. At Lisberg. Germany August and Louis UHL worked in their father’s pottery company where the chief article of production was roofing tile – made by hand. In 1848 August and his brother Louis (who were mere boys) decided to seek their fortunes in the land of opportunity, America. It was decided the elder brother August should go first and determine whether their trade could be established over here and look for a suitable location. After landing in New York he went to Pittsburgh and took a boat, coming west on the Ohio River. The boat made many stops and August took advantage of these stops by examining the particles of clay that were showing along the banks of the river. He finally decided to stop at Evansville, Indiana for here he found a clay that had the necessary plasticity for the making of pottery.
