In the year 2005, after years of success hartstone pottery was closed and people could no longer enjoy the beautiful and tasteful pottery they were used to. One of the main reasons why for a little while we had to say goodbye to hartstone pottery was because it was believed that it is cheaper and more efficient to work with companies that could make a mug every ten minutes, then to work with people who could finish the job in almost eight days. However hartstone pottery has never quit and today we can enjoy again the finest pottery ever made.
