This firm was the first to commence the manufacture of Belleek ware in this country. In 1882 some workmen from the Irish Belleek works were brought over for this purpose, and the manufacture of thin egg‑shell china with luster glazes was established in Trenton.
Several marks were used on Etruria Belleek, among which are two varieties of the crown and sword, and two of the crescent, designs, which were printed over the glaze ill red or brown. Occasionally the same ware was marked \"Manufactured by Ott & Brewer, Trenton, N. J., U. S. A.,\" and again with the firm name in a circle. The initials of the firm were also used on fine Belleek ware about 1885.
The junior member of the firm was particularly active in experimenting in new and developing the artistic features of the manufacture. Cactus pattern and applied handles.
