Pope-Gosser’s
formation of their delicate structure and their wonderful designs
rivaled the fine English china of their day. For more details see Recollecting Pope-Gosser, A Compendium of Historic Chinaware published by The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum.
Our
current auction features a collection Manolo Blahnik would adore. It
is the Milan Pattern by the Pope-Gosser China Company. This antique
china was made in Coshocton, Ohio in the nineteen thirties. The
beautiful pink roses and green flourish pattern was molded in the
Sterling shape and trimmed in gold. The actual design itself is a
tribute to the fine artisan work of the employees. This gold trim and
all of the decals of this wonderful design were applied by hand on
greenware before the final porcelain firing.
Pope-Gosser
produced it’s china in a variety of mold designs. Sterling was the
most ornate. On flat pieces, this mold design is characterized by very
fine short parallel ridges lining the perimeter. Even though the
pattern is no longer in production you can still find pieces at
Replacements.com.
Further evidence that this wonderful antique china holds it’s value because of, “discipline,
with a credo to do only the best, down to the smallest detail”. We
invite you to see for yourself in our current auction. Please follow
the link for all of the Milan pattern items.
Happy Bidding,
