In 1893, with a new stamp, "Syracuse China" was introduced and awarded a medal at the World Exhibition in Chicago, Illinois. In 1896, the company unveiled its "rolled edge" china which became a standard in the commercial food industry. For the next six decades, Syracuse continued to expand and prosper until 1970 when the company closed its consumer division. Today, Syracuse China stands as the largest commercial pottery complex in the world.     Place a Bid!
