Mayer China was located near the Beaver River along second avenue in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. They produced everything from cups, saucers, bowls, plates, teapots, coffee mugs and other items. The company had a very successful run for around a hundred years that began in 1881 when Ernest and Joseph Mayer bought Economy Pottery, a small company that was originally set up by The Harmonist Society. By the 1920s, Mayer China was recognized around the world as being a top quality product and was used in cruise ships, railroads, fancy hotels and later on airlines. Mayer China even supplied its signature place settings for the The White Star Line, the famous British ship builder that built the RMS Titanic. Although Mayer China closed in 1990, its pieces continue to be very popular.
