Hall China Company Advertisements

The Hall China Company resulted from the failure of the East Liverpool Pottery Company in East Liverpool, Ohio in 1903. After obtaining the assets, James Hall reincorporated the business as the Hall China Company. Dinnerware was first introduced in 1908 but was only manufactured until 1914, at which time dinnerware production was suspended until it was reintroduced in 1936. In 1911, the company produced a leadless glaze. The result was china that was durable and crazeproof, and it proved very popular with the public. The single-fire process and the durability of the resulting finish proved a huge competitive advantage to Hall.

By 1923, Hall China advertising was claiming the title for Hall as "World's Largest Manufacturer of Fireproof Cooking China." They reintroduced dinnerware in 1936. The Autumn Leaf pattern that Hall produced for Jewel Tea and the Red Poppy pattern they made for Grand Union were two of the most popular lines the company ever produced. Both are popular with collectors today. Another major line for Hall was teapots, produced in many styles, shapes, and colors. Patterns such as Nautilus and Aladdin were made in over 20 different colors. Hall China remains in business to this day.
