~ ONONDAGA POTTERY COMPANY I Iyaacu•• , N.Y. •
The building ofthe Onondaga Pottery has been the work ofthree generations since the Company was founded in 1871. The success of this organization has been due primarily to two factors closely related to one another.
The first of these is the character of the men and women who THE comprise the Onondaga Pottery today and also the character ofthose who OF have made up this organization in the past WAREand who still are more a part of us than we may realize. The second is the spirit of mutual respect, confi
dence, and goodwill in which we all have workedNETWORKtogether through the years. This spirit cannotPROPERTYbe expressed adequately in words, but it is ex plained partly in the opening sentence ofour Statement of Policy: RESTAURANT
" The first principle ofthe Onondaga Pottery is that this business exists to be ofservice COLLECTORS -tothe public which buys our china-to the people working in this organization-to the stockholders who provide our plants and the equipment with which we work; that the interests ofthese three groups are essentially the same; that these, our common interests, can be served well only as we ofthe Pottery serve each other well."
2 COI'YItlGHT IU6, O!'lOHO....GA !'OmltY COM~..."". SlltACUSf, I'l. Y. Fine chinaware is an exception in this mechanistic age, in which machines have displaced for the most part human skill. The making oftrue china remains largely a humanjob, reflecting the diligence and loyalty and skill ofthose who make it.
These human values inherent in our Syracuse China are our her THE itage from the striving, fruitful span ofour "75 y ~s ofProgress."They are OF also the promise for our future as the OnondagaWAREPottery moves on into the years ahead, building success not only on ever improving processes and equipment and formulae, but above all on the NETWORKpeople who comprise this organization. PROPERTY
It is to the peopleRESTAURANTof the Pottery, present and past, who have made possible this Seventy-Fifth Anniversary, that this book is dedicated. COLLECTORS

RESTAURANT COLLECTORS Back Talk" means a great deal to those who know and recognize fine china. Each little trade mark or back stamp is a condensed story in itself-a brief explanation of what's been going on in the Onondaga Pottery Company for the past seventy.five years. Every potter is a twin brother to the gentleman caricatured. on this page. How many potters can resist at least one quick peek at the back stamp, no matter the place or the time? When great-grandmother was a blushing young maid, she saw uIronstone China" on the back of her saucer. In a potters' language, this trade mark de scribed the first product of the Onondaga Pottery Company, an earthenware type which finally gave way, in 1873, to a good. grade white granite. 41 • o:.!. co..:.. After many years of experimentation, a new product referred to as "Semi· CHIN .... S~ MI·Vll REOUS Porcelain" appeared on the market in 1885. By the next year, an improved product was developed, which was, as the back stamp indicates, a superior grade of hard fired porcelain in table items. This ware was guaranteed against crazing, which we believe to have been the first time American made tableware carried such warranty. 1888 marked the first production of a pure translucent china, "Imperial Geddo." A very beautiful and fragile product, it was composed of strictly IMPERIAL American clays, and was confined to a small line of art ware. GEOOO Th~ beginning of the so called "Gay Nineties" saw the first showing of "Syracuse China" as we know it today. A full line of thin, translucent din nerware was completed by 1891 and marketed as "Syracuse China" for the first time. A strictly American product, combining many ideas and methods based on twenty years of experimentation, suggested a trade mark repre sentative of the "New World,"THEwhich was adopted in 1893. OF o.P.co. The present "Syracuse China" tradeWAREmark came into existence at the time of sYRACUSE the Spanish-American War in 1898, and is still seen on some of the present CHINA day product. NETWORK Through the era of the giddy "RoaringTwenties" or the "Flapper Age," the OnondagaPROPERTYPottery Company progressed steadily, in spite of all distractions, to perfect and produce both dinnerware and hotel china in ivory lxKly from 1926 to 1928. RESTAURANT adobe 1929 ushered in the great stock market crash and the following years of de VJare pression and Hhard times." Yet by 1932, the Onondaga Pottery Company had developedCOLLECTORSand marketed an entirely new idea in the line of china, $/~CUSE.-=== CHINA "Adobe Ware." A dark lxKly of this nature was, to speak mildly, somewhat at odds with the traditional ideas of fine china. But a certain amount of "peasant" type ware imported from Southern Europe was finding accept· ance here although it was coarse and heavy. The west coast was the scene of the first general acceptance of the new line, whose brilliant Mediterranean colors harmonized so well with the darker background of the body; The "Erono Rim" line of ware was introduced to the trade in 1933.

As the tradr: name implies, the edge of each piece is fluted after the fashion of a sea shell. The fine texture and styling of "SheUedge" has created an unusually distinguished and delicate prooucL ;r.,.,DER.u.*) ~SHVE~ The well known "Federal" shape made its appearance early in 1938, as a SYRACUSE CHIMA part of the dinnerware line. It is characterized by a simple fluting along the ':'~".~."cA-ncG edge. The most recent addition to the Syracuse China family is a strictly "high flying" newcomer, the manufacture of which began in November 1945. "Airlite" china, paper thin, feather weight and shaped to enhance its deli AIIUlHC.Alt-AlIUIIES_ cacy, is the first china ever to be used on airlines. As ofJanuary 1946, the old back stamp, used on white ware since 1896, was discontinued to make way for theTHElatest trade mark which will appear on all of our white chinaware in the future. OF WARE From a small obscure beginning, Syracuse China has grown up to take its place of leadership in the ceramic industry. Those familiar back. stamp trade marks have blazed a trail across the nation in homes, restaurants, and hotels. The ships at sea, the luxury diners on the railroads and now theNETWORKAmerican Airlines reveal the "mark" of Syracuse China to their patrons.
