Ungemach Pottery Company of Ohio

Ungemach Pottery Company was founded in 1937 initially as South Fork Pottery by Fred Ungemach in Roseville, Ohio.  In 1942 the company was renamed Ungemach Pottery Company ("UPCO").  As a young man, Mr. Ungemach worked at McCoy Pottery and Robinson Ransbottom Pottery Company before founding UPCO, which may account for some of the comparisons made between UPCO and McCoy Pottery.  UPCO operated until 1984 when it changed hands and became Friendship Pottery.
