FYI: The Salem China Company was located in
Salem, Ohio in Columbian County, northwest of East Liverpool.
It was founded by Patrick and John McNicol, Daniel Cronin,
and William Smith in 1898 with production beginning a year later.
By 1930 the pottery was firing 25,000 pieces per day and at the
height of production employed over 500 people. Salem China stopped
manufacturing wares in 1967. Many of the distinctive shapes
from the 1930's and 1940's were created by designer Vicktor Schreckengost.
Some of the more collectible lines today are Tricorne - an art deco,
triangle shape from the 1930's and free form a modern design from
the late 1940's. Other popular lines include Symphony, New Yorker,
Heirloom and Century. On Wednesday, July 23, 2003 the southernmost
portion of the factory was destroyed by fire.
