About Holland Mold Company:
Holland Mold Inc. was founded in 1946 by Frank Hollendonner, an Austrian immigrant who learned mold making at a tile company in his homeland. Having settled in Trenton, New Jersey, the home to numerous potteries, his experience easily got him a job making molds for a tile manufacturer. He networked with the local ceramics industry and began getting requests to create molds for a variety of items. He soon founded "Holland Mold" in his four car garage with his brother Rudy as his partner. Business was brisk, and Frank mortgaged his home and borrowed money in order to finance the move to a proper facility. Never producing finished products, they made molds primarily for home crafters, although some of their designs found their way into mass production at various potteries. Holland Mold flourished for fifty-one years, and was ultimately owned by three generations of the Hollendonner family. Various ceramic designs can be found with the Holland Mold mark, some of which are high-fired professional items. The company closed in 1997.
