Blue Mountain Pottery was a Canadian pottery company that operated from 1947 to 2004. It was founded by Jozo Weider and his brother-in-law, Frank Hlusiak, in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. Blue Mountain Pottery was known for its distinctive style characterized by unique glazes and designs inspired by nature, particularly the Blue Mountain region of Ontario.

The pottery produced a wide range of items, including vases, bowls, animal figurines, and decorative pieces. One of its most famous creations was the "drip glaze" technique, which gave their pieces a distinct appearance resembling running water or melting ice. This technique was achieved by layering different glazes on top of each other, allowing them to blend and flow during the firing process.

Blue Mountain Pottery enjoyed considerable success both domestically and internationally, exporting its products to countries around the world. However, changes in consumer preferences, increased competition, and financial difficulties led to the closure of the company in 2004. Despite its closure, Blue Mountain Pottery remains highly collectible among enthusiasts, with many valuing its unique designs and craftsmanship.
