Stangl Pottery from New Jersey. “Fruit” pattern. Photo in Ocean Grove. Paul Goldfinger image. ©
Eileen received a few pieces of Stangl pottery from my mother. Then she found some more at the OG few market and the antique barn in Waretown, New Jersey in Burlington County. The business began in 1814 in Flemington, but it expanded in the 1940’s when hand carved and painted dinnerware became popular.The factory was originally in Flemington, but it burned down , so the company moved to Trenton.
Stangl outlet store in Flemington, 1950. By Robert C. Runge, Jr.
The Stangl Pottery Company had a popular outlet store in Flemington from the 1930’s until they closed in 1978. My parents would take car rides to go there and look for bargains. Their dinnerware was high quality and was known for colorful floral and fruit patterns. My mother liked the blueberry designs. Tour buses would go to the outlet, and some of you might remember visiting there.
If you have any collectible items, especially from Ocean Grove and/or New Jersey, we will feature them if you can provide some interesting information. We would photograph them for you if you cannot do it for yourself.
We also would welcome offerings from the collection at the Historical Society of Ocean Grove to share with the people of Ocean Grove and other OG fans. How about it HSOG? ——Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger.net
