Hall Set 4 Custards Ramekins Orange Poppy 1933-1953 Radiance w/Platinum Trim
Exquisite Decorative HALL CHINA Set of 4 CUSTARDS, ORANGE POPPY with PLATINUM Trim, circa 1933-1953 from East Liverpool, Ohio, USA
HALL COLLECTOR FRIENDS: We have collected Hall Orange Poppy kitchenware for 30 years. Last year much to our delight, we had the opportunity to purchase a large collection which included one item we wanted: an elusive small Bellevue coffee pot which we did not have in our collection. We drove 1100 miles and spent 2 nights in a hotel to get that beauty since the seller specified local pick-up only. The Bellevue is in excellent condition and is displayed beside our Bellevue teapot. Most of the rest of the set which includes kitchenware and some dinnerware are also in excellent condition. We are now ready to sell the rest since we don't need duplicates!
DESCRIPTION: This features the shiny, bright orange poppy flower design with the platinum trim on the ivory background color. The rims are trimmed in the bold platinum striping. The inside is a bright, clean ivory porcelain. Notice that these all have the same larger version of a poppy flower.
CONDITION: The condition of this set is superb. We can find no defects and no damage. These look brand new despite their age of 65+ years! The platinum trim on all show very, very minor wear; see the photos. There are no chips, nicks, cracks, scratches or hairlines. Please refer to the photos to see how classically beautiful this is. (We are very picky Hall collectors--We just don't need more Orange Poppy custards in our collection!)
DIMENSIONS: The custards have a diameter of 3 1/2" and a height of 2 1/8". Each custard holds 7 ounces.
HISTORY/MARKS: When the East Liverpool Potteries Company was dissolved in 1903, Robert Hall, one of the principals, formed Hall China Company. After his untimely death in 1904, his young son, Robert Taggert Hall took over and made it his mission to rediscover the long lost process from the Ming Dynasty of producing a non-lead based glazed china using a single fire process. He succeeded by 1911 creating the craze-proof finish for which Hall China became famous for over 100 years. Hall China remained in the extended Hall family until they merged with Homer Laughlin China Company across the river in Newell, West Virginia, the manufacturer of Fiesta. Hall China is not in production today as their operating kilns have been moved to Newell and most of the original facility on Anna Avenue is being demolished. The mark on the bottom of these is the mark that Margaret & Kenn Whitmyer designate as mark #6 in their book, Collector's Encyclopedia of Hall China, 3rd edition. This mark was used from the 1932-1970. The Orange Poppy design was produced 1933-1953. It served as a premium for The Great American Tea Company (A&P) from 1933-1940 and then was carried as open stock at Hall China until it was discontinued in 1953.
