In over 725 color photographs, this comprehensive new volume
illustrates the colorful and diverse dinnerware produced over a
sixty year period by Universal Potteries, Inc. of Cambridge, Ohio,
and its predecessor companies. Starting in 1900 with the Cambridge
Art Pottery, the text outlines the "family tree" of potteries
leading up to Universal itself, including The Guernsey Earthenware
Co., the Oxford Pottery Co., and the Atlas-Globe China Co. Examples
of wares from each of these early companies are shown, along with a
broad array of items dating from Universal's actual incorporation
in the 1930s to the phasing out of its dinnerware line in 1960.
Plates, platters, bowls, teapots, pitchers, jugs, cups, casseroles,
and more are all shown in Universal's classic shapes, including
Ballerina, Camwood Ivory, Upico, Fascination, and Vogue.
Decorations highlighted in the photos include Cherrytone, Poppy,
Moss Rose, Bittersweet, Cattail, American Beauty Rose, Old
Curiosity Shop, Southern Garden, and many more. Universal
enthusiasts are sure to find their favorites here! Values for all
items are included in the captions.
