Batchelder Tiles & Pottery

Ernest Batchelder established a tile studio in Pasadena, California, in 1909 and expansion soon followed. In 1916 Batchelder built a larger factory with a new partner. The Batchelder-Wilson Company made all types of architectural tiles, garden pots, and bookends. That plant closed in 1932.
In 1936 Batchelder opened Batchelder Ceramics, also in Pasadena, and made bowls, vases, and earthenware pots. He retired in 1951 and died in 1957. Pieces are marked Batchelder Pasadena or Batchelder Los Angeles.
