Benjamin Harker, Sr. hired a potter to teach his sons, Benjamin Harker, Jr. and George S. Harker, the trade. In the 1850’s, they were making yellowware, whiteware, as well as Rockingham inspired, brown-glazed pottery. In 1931, they moved to the plant to Chester, West Virginia, to get away from the constant flooding.
One of Harker’s most popular lines was Cameoware, where a design was cut into the colored glaze. They were also well known for wares using the Pate Sur Pate method, which they called Royal Gadroon. It was a paste method that created a decorative white border. Other popular lines include items with the Autumn Leaf pattern inspired by Hall China and dinnerware designed by Russel Wright.
The company was sold to the Jeannette Glass Company in 1969, and it closed down a few years later in 1972.

Would like to know if the Blue Cameoware by Harker is ovenproof? I have a full 12place setting with covered casseroles and pie plates, and I would like to know if they are oven proof.
Would like to know if the Blue Cameoware by Harker is ovenproof? I have a full 12 piece place setting with all the extra serving pieces. It has covered casseroles and pie plates that I would like to know if they are oven proof.
I have the Harker wild rose patter china. I have a service for 12. Was wondering the history of the pattern and when it was made.
Thank you
I would love to know the name of my pattern. I have a Harker oval platter. On it is a woman and she is feeding a hen and a rooster. Thank you.
My mom gave me her beloved dessert platter and 6 plates with fruit and flowers in a basket. My dad bought it for her in the 60’s and she cherished it, displaying but never using it. I immediately put it in my China cabinet, also. We’re moving and when I took it out, it had very fine cracks and has discolored to a brown color. Im heartbroken. I lost my mom in 2017 and she would be, too.
I have many of the HAR16 set (B.J. Wilkinson mentions in the comments). Only missing a few of the tea cups. I believe my mom purchased the set sometime in the late 70s or early 80s.
I have a 12piece set of the violet patter and I have not seen that design. They were my grandmother’s.
I have a 4 place setting of Harker that has a grapeview pattern that I can’t find on site. Any ideas
I have a Harker Blue with a while design. It is a bowl and has a cover. Does anyone know if this is microwave or oven proof. I cannot find this information anywhere. The bowl is maybe 8 inches in diameter….There currently two listed on E-bay.
I have a harker pottery bowl with green leaves around it it has royal gadroon on the back also it has jy 10 on the back
I have a set of the Harker Pottery Wild Rose pattern dishes with 22K gold rimed. They have the bow and arrow seal on the back with a number 1. I’m looking for more information on the age and value of the set. Any help would be great.
Thank You.
I have a Harker Hotoven bowl
With a Mexican Scene. The marking on the bowl says ” The oldest pottery in America”. It’s about 60 years old. I can’t find any information about it. I still use it today.
Hello,
I have been collecting a Rosebud pattern with the royal gadroon edges…the rosebuds are not on the inside of the plates, but around the outer edges and the inside is blank. They are a creamy off white. The tea cups have gold edges. I am trying to find out when they were produced? I could send a picture.
Is anyone answering all the questions in this forum?
Thank you in advance,
Jdockus@hotmail.com
I have a piece that says in gold cursive “Royal Dresden by Harker EST 1840”. Anyone have any idea what that means?
To Pam Garris: I have some pieces in the Apples and Pear pattern if still looking: a pie plate, salt and pepper shakers, rolling pin, “drips” container and a serving bowl with lid. All are in perfect condition except the serving bowl which has a few nicks.
FYI..the 1840 on the backstage does NOT mean yout pieces date from
1840. That’s the year Harker was founded
Harker typically does not date their pieces.
For those wanting to know about the braided edge, it’s called gadroon.
Interested in Harker Pear and Apple pattern pieces.
I have 4 dessert plates and 1 cake plate with server. Tulip bouquet pattern 22 karat gold made in USA harker pottery since 1840 interested in selling
I have 6 of the Square Harker bread and butter plates and one Godey Handled Cake Plate in Early American (No Filigree) by Harker
.
I have a full 8 place setting with plates and bowls and serving bowls and more. Pate sur pate. Great condition. I want to sell. Anyone interested?
Lisa,
I just read your post on
https://www.justcollectibles.com/harker-pottery/ about having several pieces of the Harker apple pear pattern you are wanting to sell. I would be interested if they are still available.
My email address is: annabengen@gmail.com
Thanks, Anna
I have several pieces of Harker apple and pear pieces for sale if anyone is interested. I started collecting but have decided not to continue. Thank you.
I am trying to build a set of the Harker Hotoven apple pear pattern, and am finding it is almost impossible to find. Any suggestions or tips on where to find these pieces would be greatly appreciated.
I have an entire set of 8 Harker Pottery dishes, including a serving bowl, creamer and sugar dish. You have a creamer of the same set posted on this site. It has pink yellow, and peach colored roses on it. Your post says it’s numbered 1211, and that they are from 1940. Any idea what my whole set would be worth? There is a chip in the serving bowl but I have the piece, every other piece looks good. I could send a picture.
I have a tea pot and creamer Deco Dahlia with yellow flower. I need the sugar bowl. It belonged to my mother. I have been looking for the sugar bowl for several years. Anyone know where I might find one?
I have a harker hound handed pitcher, not a reproduction. Dated 1846 by the mark. WoulWould like to know the current value.
I have a 14 inch oval serving platter made by the harked pottery co. The platter has tulips on the front with the harder pottery co. stamp on the back. Searched several web sites with no luck in finding a platter with this pattern. Any suggestions as to where I can search if this has any value?
I have a Harker “hotoven” cookware bowl. The designs on the outside are scenes of a man wearing a sombrero, a woman carrying a jug on her head, an ox and wagon in front of some clay roofed houses.It has a dark blue rim around the top edge . I inherited this bowl and am curious about the age of it. Can you give me an idea of when it was made and the name of this attractive design? Thank you.
I have a harker pottery pitcher. It’s green with a black border on top with a cat as a handle. It has slight chip on top and it’s number 61. Can you tell me anything of it. It has a stamp on it 18440 liverpool .
I wish to find out more about the set I have been building for 6 years now, so far it has only been identified as HAR16 on a replacements website. And the creamer only, has 6207 stamped underside. With the usual Harker Gold Bow & Arrow design with “made in the USA” & since 1840.
Pieces have a thicker painted brilliant yellow border on a white background (depending on the piece) others have a yellow background covered in the same stunning gold leaf, which is done with small, very detailed gold leafing in a rose design on top of the yellow.
It looks rather regal in its own way. Each piece has a thin gold border pained on the edges, handles have a gold stripe or three on white as well.
I’d like to know all the pieces that were made available in this design & how many pieces were considered a full & complete set?
I have many of the more difficult pieces currently, like the serving platter, gravy boat, creamer & sugar bowl.
I’d like to know the history of this pattern, the name if any, (slang or otherwise) the time frame it was produced & if this was a big seller or a smaller production line?
I got my original pieces as a very incomplete set at a thrift store in San Francisco for $25 right after they were donated, the moment I saw them I had to have them & I promised myself I’d get it all completed or die trying, it’s 50/50 right now.
Now I’ve spent ten times that original amount buying the missing pieces, it’s gone past passion at this point & it’s become obsession, what’s worse is I’m still a dozen pieces shy of a setting for 6, I think.
Any legit direction to possible places to buy additional pieces (Dinner Plates, Teacups & Coupe Soup Bowls) is appreciated, as well as any answers to the aforementioned questions. Thanks for any possible info in advance.
I have one plate that has a lady sitting outside, holding flowers and a gentlemen sitting beside her on the ground .He has a George Washington style hairdo. I would love to know what the design is called and how old it may be? It has 22 kt gold written on the back. Harker pottery. thank you!
I have small square “plates” that are pottery and have gold trim around the top edge. I can not find these anywhere. The have 4 different cars from 1800-1900’s. Does any one have any idea what they are or where to find info about them.
Thanks
I have many pieces of Harker Pottery. It does not have a pattern name on the back. Just states 22 KT. Gold. They have wild geese on them. I also have a complete set of 10 plates with the place to put your coffee/tea cup. It looks like what would be used for a tea. I can not find a picture of this pattern anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a complete set, service for 12 of a tea and toast or cake st. The plates have an inndented place to put the cup and ample room for a sandwich, or toast, or cake and/or cookies. It is at least as old as the 11940s. 12 cups and the 12 plates, 4 matching ashtrays, a large cake plate and a ceramic matching cake server. They are the Corinthian/teal pattern and are maarked on the back pate set pate. Could anyone tel me what the inrtact set is worth and is anyone interested in buying the whole set.
