PFALTZGRAFF:
For over 200 years the Pfaltzgraff brand has been associated with the highest quality ceramic products available for the home.
The company grew from a modest-size pottery shop that produced simple earthenware, salt-glazed stoneware crocks and even flower pots into one of the best known designers and marketers of dinnerware, drinkware, ceramic accessories, giftware and other products.
Several Pfaltzgraff patterns are among the best-loved dinnerware designs in America, including Yorktowne, Folk Art, Naturewood and Pistoulet.
History:
The Pfaltzgraff family immigrated to the United States in the early 1800's and set up a small potter's wheel and kiln on their modest twenty-one acre homestead in York County, Pennsylvania.
The earliest Pfaltzgraff market was defined to be "as far as you can get with a horse and a wagon and then get back home the same day."
As the Pfaltzgraff brothers expanded their potteries and business horizons, the nineteenth century Industrial Revolution was changing the United States from a farm-based society to an urban, manufacturing-driven economy.
And so, in 1889 George and Henry Pfaltzgraff created a partnership that would grow into the Pfaltzgraff Company.
First Factory:
In 1894 brothers Henry B. and George B. Pfaltzgraff joined forces to build a new, modern plant that would streamline production, and to locate that facility on a railway line to expedite shipments to customers in a wider geographic area.
Up until that time a Pfaltzgraff potter's market had been defined as the distance a horse and wagon could travel and still return home within a day.
The photograph shows factory employees standing in front of and sitting upon a boxcar with the factory visible behind them.
The gentleman standing in the boxcar door, on the right, is George W. Pfaltzgraff, son of George B. Pfaltzgraff. George W. would play a key role in the expansion of the company in the twentieth century.
