Keystone Pottery
Eighty yards south. German immigrant Charles F. Decker opened the Keystone Pottery in 1872. Kitchen and household ware were produced in large quantites. The Decker family also crafted a variety of unique and beautifully decorated grave markers, champer pots, chicken fountains, inkwells, and face jugs. Pottery laden wagons rolled to many points in Tennessee and surrounding states. This was a significant industry in Chucky valley for more than 30 years.
Marker is on John Sevier Highway (Tennessee Route 107), on the right when traveling east.
