Here is yet another installment of many guides that we, Replacements, LTD, will be posting to provide some interesting information on the manufacturers of some the world's most collectible porcelain dinnerware. This one will be about Castleton, one of the great manufacturers in the American dinnerware industry. They have made a wide variety of patterns to fit an assortment of tastes and we'll be highlighting some of their most popular patterns below.See our SUNNYVALE, HERE!The subtle beauty of Castleton patterns, (of which we have a great selection on our web site) belies the toughness and tenacity required on the part of the founders of Castleton to create and grow a company that was to become a legend in the tableware industry. See our GLORIA, HERE! See our LACE, HERE!In 1901, the New Castle China company was created via the purchase of the New Castle Shovel Works Factory in New Castle, PA. The company soon acquired another pottery manufacturer, Shenango Pottery. The New Castle factory focused on producing hotelwares and semi-porcelain dinnerware services. Although the company primarily focused on the production of dinnerware services, the New Castle factories also produced industrial tiles, odd dishes, and home fixtures. See our CASTLETON ROSE, HERE!
