History (with credit to WorthPoint): “William Shaw
George (March 21, 1865 – April 12, 1925) bought a controlling interest in the
East Palestine Pottery Company located in Sebring, Ohio in 1904. He added a
new plant and renamed the company the Continental China Company. In 1909, he
changed the name to the W. S. George Pottery Company. The company produced
semi-porcelain dinnerware, hotel ware, and toilet ware.” During the
early 1900s, the company expanded it’s operations with additional plants in
Pennsylvania. After W. S. George died in 1925, his family continued to manage
the business. The Derwood and Radisson dinnerware shapes, and their lines of
china, were introduced in 1910 and continued in production through the 1940s.
Lido was introduced in the 1930s. Bolero was produced in the 1940s and 1950s. W. S. George Pottery Company filed
for bankruptcy in 1955, when the Royal China Company bought Plant #4. The
remaining W. S. George Pottery Company holdings were liquidated between 1959
and 1960, ending the era of a fine American pottery company.” | Condition: This china is over 60
