Ourarea potteries were making whiteironstone from roughly the 1870sthrough the early decades of the 20thcentury. Thank you for yourconsideration of this possibility.Sarah Webster Vodrey(Please view the press release on page 4of this newsletter.)Dear All:We found this mug last week when wewere in Door County, WI, and while Iwould not ordinarily buy this, I wasintrigued by the mark: S. W. Dean andEdge Malkin & Co.I checked Godden and see that S. W. Deanwas at Newport Pottery in Burslem,Staffordshire. It was the successor forEdge Malkin and in operation from 1904 1910, when it became Deans (1910 1919). Neither of my marks books showthis particular mark. I am assuming thatthis must have been used in 1904 as EdgeMalkin was transitioning to become S. W.Dean.The mug itself is ribbed into 10 sectionswith a wheat pattern along the top. Theembossing is not that strong, so maybe themold was getting a tad worn! I'm not surewhat body style to call it - probably closestto Ceres.Michael ComptonHas anyone else seen this maker? If so letus know.Today Brenda & I traveled to CamdenSouth Carolina – 167 miles one way – tobid on A Leon Danchin – French artistaround 1920’s to 1930’s – English setterprint. It sold for much more than any ofthe other prints we have by Danchin – sowe did not purchase it.While In Camden, we visited all of theantique stores in town – I believe therewere eight.There was only one piece of ironstonechina in the stores so even though we didnot need it - -we purchased it. (had tojustify the trip). Now, what am I going todo with two of these things?Boyd PayneEditor’s Note; An embarrassment ofriches, Lazy Susans must have been big inNorth Carolina.

I hope all ofyou had a wonderful summer andthat you found beautiful pieces ofwhite ironstone.

I also appreciate thenotes and letters that were attachedto surveys and mailed to our home.The support I receive from themembership means a lot to me. Theoverall rating for the convention was‘Very Good’ in first place and‘Excellent’ in second place. OurSaturday presentations by DavidHoexter and Dennis Contri receivedpositive feedback. There wereseveral comments received thatpeople would like the talks to moveback and focus on white ironstone.The auction and Show, Tell and Askboth continue to be the most popularevents held.

Our second program will be on china shapes. Bob Hohl will present “The ManyShapes of Flow Blue/ Mulberry and More!!” a program that deals with SHAPES of ceramics, not patterns. Hisresearch was involved deeply with what was uncovered by Rosalie Spire at Kew. Bob is very excited about thisnew primary source material and will prove to be an exciting speaker for York in 2016.“Believe me it is difficult to publicize a WICA convention activitywhen one does not have details, so please consider this a conventionANNOUNCEMENT. I do know the date of the Friday WICA guidedtour of the Gettysburg Battlefield and surrounding town; it is Friday,April 29, 2016. Vehicles from the Historic Tour Co. of Gettysburgwill pick up our WICA group at the Wyndham Garden Hotel onLoucks Road, York, and after approximately one hour we will arrivein Gettysburg, PA for a 2 1/2 hour tour of Gettysburg, the town, andall of the surrounding area of Civil War fame. Something differentthis year – box lunches at a nearby picnic pavilion will be featured;and there are rest stops along the way. One hour return trip to theWyndham Garden; we can take the first 43 people in a van and in abus. There is little to no walking: the tour is narrated by professionalguides on bothvehicles. I wishI could provideat least anapproximate perperson cost, but the company’s owner will not provide oneuntil after the first of the year. I can try to answerquestions; please email me at pahbubba@comcast.net.Many thanks. Jane Diemer – Tour Organizer”(Continued on Page 6)

Page 7 Vol.22-2Around 1721, a potter by the name of John Meir came into prominence in Derbyshire, England. After thefamily name was changed and several generations past, Joseph Mayer and his two brothers Thomas and Johnstarted the Dale Hall Works Pottery in Burslem in 1836. They continued making high quality china throughout themiddle of the19th century. In the early1880’s, 2 sons of Joseph, Ernest and Joseph Mayer came to America to carryon the Mayer name as one of the highest quality potters. The brothers created an importing business in New Yorkto gauge the marketplace in America. After a couple of years importing and distributing china, the brotherspurchased a small plant in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. They completely renovated the plant and built new kilns tobegin producing iron stone wares. Just after production began, tastes turned to lusterware, so their small plantprincipally made luster band and sprig ware. The pottery became well known for its quality and amassed a stellarreputation within the trade.As time went by, the pottery increased in size and became a producer of one of the best grades of semiporcelain earthenware. Beautiful underglaze decoration was added to this refined body, and before long MayerChina stood preeminent in the potting community. In 1896 a devastating fire leveled the plant which prompted thebrothers to build a larger and more efficient plant.After the new plant was built, the Mayer brothers decided to begin making Vitrified Hotel China. This newendeavor created many obstacles, one of which was keeping the wares straight during the firing process. Toalleviate the problem, they invented and patented a machine that mechanically embeds the ware in sand, whichdramatically decreases the damage that occurs during the first burning stages. Another issue that needed to beaddressed was the mismatch underglazed color, so they built a fully equipped color making plant. The color plantassured them of high quality and uniform colors to apply to the wares. New types of dryers were adapted toimprove the final step in the process. Along with all the technical advances, the plant continued to grow as seen onthe front cover of the newsletter. Each new building was erected using fire resistant materials and an automaticsprinkler system, to prevent another catastrophe.(continued on Page 8)J. & E.
