From the Author
While Volume 1 is presented by subjects such as airline, ship, railroad, military, government, casino, and western theme china, Volume 2 is organized alphabetically by manufacturer, offering brief histories, commercial china information, date codes, dated backstamps, colored photographs of ware predominantly used in restaurants, hotels, clubs, schools, and so forth with a sprinkling of the subjects covered in Volume 1, individual value ranges, numerous catalog pages, and more. American as well as foreign china companies are covered, because both have played a significant role in the United States and worldwide foodservice industry. Though the history of several has been altogether undocumented until now, certain manufacturers are covered extensively in other works, but data on their commercial china products has been generally limited or neglected completely. Principal manufacturers included in Volume 2: Bauscher, Buffalo, Carr, H. F. Coors, Corning, Dudson, Dunn Bennett, Greenwood, Grindley (now Duraline), Hall, Haviland, Hutschenreuther, Iroquois, Jackson, Homer Laughlin, John Maddock and Sons, Maddock Pottery, Mayer, McNicol, Noritake, Porsgrunds, Rego, Ridgway, Rosenthal, Royal Doulton, Scammell, Schonwald, Shenango, Steelite, Sterling, Syracuse, Tepco, Union Porcelain, Walker, Wallace, Warwick, Wedgwood, and Wellsville.
