PLEASE CHECK TO SEE IF I HAVE OTHER LISTINGS. In spite of the flaws this is a lovely set of Vintage China and it could make a nice addition to any vintage collection. One of the more serious areas is along the rim of one of the smaller plates where aout 1.5" of the trim is scraped away and one plate has been glued the other areas are small chips or small spots of missing gold trim.I suspect that these areas could be dealt with. I tried to get a photo of all of the areas with problems, but you could hardly tell what you were looking at. Some of the pieces have some crazing from age and nearly all of the flaws are on the back side of the pieces and not very visible unless you look close. I have included photos of the most affected areas. There are some condition issues as a result of age and some use, but nothing too serious. Each piece is trimmed in gold and the field color of the pieces is a soft Ivory. This China has been in our family since the 1940s and from what I was able to find out about it, I believe it was made in 1943.

Decades later, the company began to experience financial distress, and the Knowles factory closed in 1962. Available in seven colors for mixing and matching, it supported the then-popular space-saving concept in the kitchen. A modern line of kitchenware accessories was released in 1938. Characterized by circular ridges, the design was a common one at the time and extremely popular. In 1936, Knowles introduced the deco-modern Yorktown dinnerware, headed by the company’s art director, Vincent Broomhall. The company continued on a successful path, constantly keeping up with trends and demand. As demand grew, another factory was built just two miles south of the original. When the “Crockery and Glass Journal” reviewed Knowles’ ware as being of the highest grade, the factory’s reputation for creating quality products became known throughout the porcelain-making industry. Located in West Virginia, the Knowles China Company pledged to manufacture only the finest semi-vitreous ware. Ten years later, he became founder of the Knowles China Company and held the title of president until his death in 1943. Knowles took control of the Potters Supply Company of Ohio in 1890 after graduating from Harvard University. Pattern names did not appear on Knowles dishes until the late ’40s so if there’s no pattern name, your china was made before then.Įdwin M.
