Ray and Pauline Cash originally opened the Clinchfield Artware Pottery in 1945 in Erwin, Tennessee.  They had dreamed of starting their own pottery earlier but quickly had to put their dreams on hold when Ray was drafted during WWII.  He returned home in 1945 and got busy opening the Clinchfield Artware Pottery.  Ray was making their own molds and Pauline was making mud in an old washing machine. The name was not officially changed to Cash Family Pottery until the mid 1950's.  In 1957, Blue Ridge Southern Potteries in TN closed and the Cashes purchased all of the casings and some of the molds which increased the number of items they could make, they had more molds than decorative patterns.  They continued growing through the 60's but when Ray died, in the mid 1980's, and Pauline suffered a stroke, they closed production.
