The Pottery traces generations of family history from the 1700's. Setting themselves apart from most of the high speed and flashy denizens of internet commerce sites the "About Us" page of the web site consists of a family tree. It stretches through time from Robert Watson in 1787, Tomas in 1850, Adam (husband of Charlotte) in 1878, Henry in 1929, Frederick in 1976, followed by Michael, Jeremy, Adam, and George. Their success is attributed to this unbroken succession of family in the business.
The Henry Watson Pottery ranges are divided among the original terra cotta and "funky" glazes of the "Suffolk Collection" and "Charlotte Watson's Country Collection" in cream or black. Self-described "funky" glaze colors include Butter milk, blue, pink, and green. Most pottery is gift boxed.
