Knowles China Company traces its heritage to the early nineteenth century when Isaac Knowles, father of Edwin, pioneered in ceramics made from fine kaolin clay deposits near East Liverpool, Ohio. The family firm, Knowles, Taylor and Knowles, soon became America's largest supplier of the delicate china used in fine tearooms and restaurants, producing as well the exquisite Lotus Ware that is prized by collectors today. After graduating from Harvard and serving an apprenticeship with the family firm, Edwin Knowles established his own factory in Newell, West Virginia, directly across the Ohio River and still within sight of the precious kaolin deposits. By the late 1800s, he was a pre-eminent force among American potters, serving as president of the United States Potters Association. After his death, the company suspended operations for a time before entering into an affiliation with The Bradford Exchange to preserve its time-honored name. The Norman Rockwell Collection continues the standard of excellence that has made the Knowles name famous for over one hundred years. *See 'Seller's Other Items' for additional collector's plates.
