Moravian Pottery and Tile Works
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moravian Pottery & Tile Works is a National Historic Landmark located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It is maintained as a working history museum by the County of Bucks, Department of Parks and Recreation. Handmade tiles are still produced in a manner similar to that developed by the pottery's founder and builder, Henry Chapman Mercer. Tile designs are reissues of original designs. Mercer was a major proponent of the Arts and Crafts movement in America. He directed the work at the pottery from 1898 until his death in 1930.
The Tile Works is one of three poured-in-place concrete structures built by Mercer. The others include Fonthill, which is located on the same property and served as his home; and the Mercer Museum, located approximately one mile away.
