notes: label: Description
content: Like many other pottery manufacturers in Ohio, Knowles, Taylor & Knowles began making Rockingham and yellow ware pottery. It wasn’t until nearly eight years later that they began producing ironstone tea sets, dinner services, toilet ware, cooking ware, accessory pieces, and pitchers with Britannia lids. In the beginning of the twentieth century the company began producing semi-vitreous china with a large portion being commemorative plates such as this one for clubs and fraternal organizations.
