Bybee Pottery was the oldest pottery west of the Allegheny Mountains. Legend states the pottery was founded in Bybee Kentucky in1809 by Webster Cornelison, while sales records actually date to 1845. The business sold a wide variety of pottery pieces and encouraged customers to tour the old log building with it's many additions to watch the artisan potters hand forming, throwing, molding and glazing all the items. The pottery was able to mine all the clay they used within a short radius of their building and went through some lean years in the 1990's when the clay they were mining wasn't up to par and caused blow outs when the pieces were being fired in the kiln. The Bybee Pottery thrived and survived through six generations of the Cornelison family and as the family dwindled, production and sales dwindled also. The pottery closed down in 2011.________________________________________________________________________ PLEASE VIEW ALL MY PHOTOS because they serve as part of my item description._________________________________________________________________________ MARKED: Unmarked Bybee Pottery.
