Blue Mountain Pottery was a Canadian pottery company in Collingwood, Ontario, that operated from 1953 to 2004.
Named for the nearby Blue Mountains, it produced pottery with distinctive mixtures of glazes, the most common of which included a blue-green and a dark grey or black glaze. The company’s pottery became popular in Canada in the 1960s and 1970s; it was also exported to the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The pottery is popular among collectors; examples are held by the Royal Ontario Museum and the George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art.
