Nemadji Tile and Pottery started production in Moose Lake, Minnesota in 1923. Originally producing Nemadji tile, Nemadji Pottery was produced during the Depression to fuel tourist markets . The pottery was marketed as “resembling” ancient Indian works. This is when Nemadji pottery became known as “Indian” pottery.
Nemadji Pottery was made using clays from the Nemadji River, thus the “Indian” name. Nemadji is a word from the Ojibwa, also known as Chippewa, language.
Nemadji Pottery is very distinctive in look. It is typified by its “swirled paint” look. This look was developed by Eric Hellman in 1929. Hellman went on to work for Van Briggle Pottery before World War II and opened the Garden of the Gods Pottery in Colorado Springs in 1950."
