It also offers other American-made products, such as flatware, beverageware, candles and much more.

Made in America matters, says Tami Longaberger, Chief Executive Officer and president. It is reflected in our tradition of making the highest-quality baskets that are as functional as they are worthy of being handed down. We're excited to offer a collection of pottery that is made in the U.S. Rebuilding our nation's economy requires an investment in America and its workers. It is the right thing to do and it's what Longaberger is about.

Longaberger's pottery design aspects are reminiscent of the first baskets woven by J.W. Longaberger, grandfather of Tami Longaberger. Dinner plates prominently display "Made in America" on top along of each plate with braiding that resembles those J.W. tacked onto the band of his "fancy" baskets. Our pottery collection can be purchased individually or as a set on our site.
