The Longaberger Pottery line are a perfect complement to modern farmhouse decor, even if they’re just for show! They make great gifts for bakers, too. The design and style is classic vintage dishware and was made in the USA, primarily in Ohio through the 1990s. Be sure to check out the distinctive Longaberger headquarters building, which looks like a huge basket. There were brief periods the pottery making was outsourced to other partners so short runs of the Ohio brand were actually manufactured elsewhere.
Most Longberger Pottery was made in the U.S.A. and clearly marked as such.
Does Longaberger Pottery still exist?
The final years of Longaberger saw several near deals to revive the brand, but Longaberger declared bankruptcy in 2022 making it unlikely they would come back. Both the pottery and the baskets appeared close to permanent discontinuation.
But in 2025, the website is back and it appears that Longaberger baskets are still being made, in Ohio. They are being handmade, just as always, and individually stamped and signed by the basket weaver. However, Longaberger Pottery is not available on the site. There is no evidence that Longaberger Pottery is being made. And that brings us to whether it has impacted the value of Longaberger Pottery today.

Is Longaberger Pottery valuable?
This kind of kitchen pottery is made to last, and it’s hard to find today. It’s also more unique, since it’s not available anymore. It not only will add some interesting style to your kitchen, you will be able to enjoy relatively rare pieces that offer distinction with this vintage functional pottery. Longaberger baskets and pottery were never “budget” brands! The baskets were (almost) always made in the United States, woven by hand. The pottery also was mostly made in the United States. This both means the cost of production was higher, but there is also an value-add for functional pottery collectors who seek out US brands.
By the way, how great is the Longaberger headquarters building? You can tell that pottery is not their claim to fame.
Longaberger pottery collectors know that it also has appreciated in value as the pieces are all discontinued. Some Longaberger Pottery items are worth much more than their original price now. It also depends on which patterns and the provenance of those pieces. For example, the Longaberger pieces made in America generally fetch a slightly higher price than those made during the period that Longaberger was outsourced to China for production. That said, some of the beautiful pieces crafted abroad easily command $50 for a single dinner plate.
For even more value, keep an eye out for full sets of dishes, which are highly sought after. In addition, specific patterns tend to be more popular. The Christmas collections were probably limited runs. As a result they might fetch a higher price from the right collector. The Woven Traditions heritage weave pattern, which came in green, blue and red, is the more iconic style that Longaberger Pottery collectors would recognize immediately.
These are examples of Longaberger Pottery Woven Traditions pattern, shown here in blue and green.
So keep this vintage kitchenware in mind if you’re a collector. This vintage functional pottery is practical for modern kitchens: most of it is dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe. (But do check the bottom to confirm!)
