Moravian Pottery and Tile Works
Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, History museum and tile factory in Doylestown Township, United States
The Moravian Pottery and Tile Works continues production of handmade tiles using traditional methods, local clay, and original molds from the early 1900s.
Henry Chapman Mercer founded this concrete structure in 1898 as a manufacturing facility, leading operations until his death in 1930.
The facility demonstrates tile-making techniques from the American Arts and Crafts Movement through guided tours and hands-on workshops for visitors.
