- This vintage Paden City Pottery saucer is a tangible piece of American industrial history, crafted in August 1914 at the company’s West Virginia plant. The "H 51" backstamp serves as a built-in time capsule; the company used a clever date-code system where the letter "H" represents the eighth month of the year, and "51" denotes the production year of 1951. During this vibrant mid-century era, Paden City Pottery was at the top of its game, known for splashing department stores with elegant, gold-trimmed floral patterns like "American Rose" and "Golden Scepter." The company itself began along the Ohio River valley in 1914, founded by Pittsburgh investors who appointed George R. Wallace as the first president to oversee the production of basic kitchenware. By the 1920s, under Charles S. Ray, the firm pivoted to high-quality semi-porcelain dinnerware and became a true industry pioneer by using circular kilns and automated glaze sprayers to speed up production. This dedication to state-of-the-art machinery allowed them to thrive during the Great Depression with popular lines like Papoco and Caliente, paving the way for the historic 1950s peak that this saucer represents.
