Within a year Haeger was sole owner & had extended the business to include tiles. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, Haegar shipped bricks into the city to help rebuild Chicago. By the 1920s the brickyard's production included teaware, luncheonware, crystal & glassware. At the Century of Progress Exposition in 1934 in Chicago, Haeger Potteries' exhibit included a working ceramic factory where souvenir pottery was made. Haeger pieces have become collectible in recent years. The original Haeger Potteries Plant is found in the Dundee Township Historic District. Haeger had a plant in Macomb, Illinois.

She announced on April 6, 2016 Haeger Potteries anticipated ceasing operations in May 2016, after 145 years in business. Please see images & feel free to send questions.
