Hey Jake,

Good luck on the repair.

"ANSWER: Joseph Pech along with his sons W. J. and Frank established the Buckeye Pottery in Macomb in 1882. Pech, born in Bohemia on June 15, 1827, apprenticed for 12 years as a potter in Vienna, Austria. His family immigrated to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Pech attemped to establish a stoneware pottery but was unsuccessful due to the poor quality of the clay. Pech next moved to Atwater County, Ohio, where he manufactured stoneware for approximately 15 years. He sold his interest in the pottery in 1877 to concentrate on farming. Pech moved his family to Macomb in 1882.

Buckeye Pottery was located on Carroll Street, near the railroad. At the peak of its production, the company employed 20 individuals. The clay came primarily from Macomb County. Wares were marketed to Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, and other western states. In 1939, Haeger Company purchased Buckeye Pottery and used the pottery to manufacture Haeger floral artware..." From.

They made a nice Chicken Waterer, too.
