Although much of it is made abroad today, the U.S. was a significant producer of this material from the late 1800s to the late 1900s. Trenton was home to several of the most important producers of this material, including Greenwood China, Maddock China, and Scammell China. Speakers at this year\u2019s symposium will explain the historical significance of this ware and describe a variety of ways to collect it.<\/p>\nBlue Plate Specials: Trenton\u2019s Restaurant China<\/h2>\n
