About Knowles China:
The name Knowles China Co. refers specifically to a man named Edwin M. Knowles. The son of pottery producer Isaac Watt Knowles, Edwin began producing what he called the finest quality
semi - vitreous chinaware
after graduating from Harvard University in 1890. Officially entering the market in 1901, Knowles’ pieces rapidly grew in popularity throughout the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries which increased both demand and production of Knowles’ product through the Depression Era and beyond.
Knowles himself died in 1943, but the company lived on under the direction of Frederick Blackmore Lawrence, who subsequently passed away in March, 1948. William A. Harris Jr. took over after that and would sit at the company’s helm until its was disbanded in 1962 as a result of a poor profit outlook. However, the intervening years showed a great deal of success for the company on several fronts and in many different designs.
