Description |
1909 calendar plate, compliments of J. Chalupsky, Silver Lake, Minn. Months of the year in pale green surround a color profile bust picture of a lovely Victorian lass. Maker's mark: N. C. Co./E.L.O. The National China Company began in East Liverpool, Ohio in 1899. In 1910, the firm sold its East Liverpool facilities to the Harker Pottery Company, and purchased the Dresden China Company in Salineville, Ohio. National China operated successfully in Salineville for over 15 years, manufacturing dinner, toilet and hotel wares. In 1929, National China became one of eight firms to consolidate and form the American Chinaware Corporation. The merger included other potteries such as Knowles, Taylor & Knowles, the Carrollton China Company, and the Pope Gosser China Company. The new firm was short lived, and the American Chinaware Corporation filed for bankruptcy after only a few years. On November 15, 1932, the company ceased operations . |
