Porcelier Pottery Company
East Liverpool, Ohio must have been an exciting, vibrant pottery-making community when Porcelier joined all the other companies doing business in this town located next to the Ohio River in the 1920's. So many companies, not in existence today, were making all sorts of wonderful porcelain, vitrified china and ceramic items.
The actual date of business for Porcelier start-up is unknown, but previously published as 1927. Hall and Homer Laughlin are still in the area, but Porcelier moved its company to South Greensburg, PA when it purchased the vacant American China Company plant in 1930. Porcelier graced the American home with its wonderful line of lighting fixtures, kitchen and fine dining items over the next two decades well into the '50's when the company was dissolved and sold the building and seven acres of land to the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries in 1954. Sadly, the building is no longer there having been torn down to make way for "progress".
