This has been driving me crazy for some time. I've seen this logo a few times locally and was hoping someone in here would recognize it as being from a company in WV? Probably not it business anymore?

The logo is on a piece of restaurant china made in East Liverpool Ohio.

Don't know the mark, but did find some info (that you might already have).

There's a web site called The Museum of Ceramics, located in East Liverpool. One of the pages there lists the ceramic/pottery companies that have been located in East Liverpool over the years. (Wikipedia says that there have been over 300 pottery factories in the area.)

At the end of the list is this acknowledgment:
"William C. Gates, Jr., who compiled the above list, serves as Curator of History for the Ohio Historical Society. He is the author of two books: The City of Hills and Kilns: Life and Work in East Liverpool, Ohio and, with Dana E. Ormerod, The East Liverpool, Ohio Pottery District: Identification of Manufacturers and Marks."

I bet that second book, if you can locate it, will help a great deal.

thanks snorpus. There is a china museum up there that I want to go to someday. I'll see if I can track down a copy of the book!
