Some history: In 1906, 7 potteries merged together to form the Western Stoneware Company in Monmouth, Illinois. They were: Weir Pottery, Monmouth Pottery, Macomb Stoneware Co., Macomb Pottery Co., D Culbertson Stoneware Co., Clinton Stoneware Co. and the Fort Dodge Stoneware Company. Western Stoneware produced the Warm Colorado Brown daisy dot line of Marcrest dinnerware (and maybe some of the pastels as well). They closed their doors in 2006 after 100 years of operation, but quickly re-opened, thanks to 3 original employees.
