Description
Turn of the century antique ironstone porcelain basin with molded leaves and flourishes. Marked with the laurel wreath and globe over the word Porcelain attributed to Burford Brothers Pottery, though without their name, suggesting it was crafted after the company’s sale to the standard Pottery Company. “The Burford Brothers Pottery (founded in East Liverpool Ohio by Oliver, Robert, and George W.) began producing floor and wall tiles in 1879. After three unsuccessful years, they completely changed focus and began to produce ironstone and c.c. ware (short for cream colored ware, or common clay ware). By 1887 there were two kilns producing ware, with an annual production of $50,000. They shipped all over the United States, but mainly to the west and northwest. They eventually made hotel ware, and ware they called 'porcelain' but which was not porcelain. Some backstamps refer merely to 'B.B.', or 'Burfords'. In 1904, the brothers went out of business, selling their pottery to the Standard Pottery Company.”
