Expect minor surface abrasions and wear to design and gold trim consistent with age, use and storage. Item has an approximate 7 inch length and 4 inches tall. Vitrification is the process of firing clay to an extremely high temperature, so the spaces between refractory particles in the clay are completely filled; fusing the particles together and making the clay impervious to water.Vitrified china is non-porous and non-absorbent, thus it will not absorb liquids or foods. Vitrified china retains its original color and ornamental value as long as it remains unbroken. The Sterling China Company was established by B.E. Allen in 1917 with a factory in Wellsville, OH and later had offices in East Liverpool, OH. In the early years production consisted of small items such as cups, bowls, coffee mugs, ashtrays, etc. as the years went by new wares, shapes and designs were added to the line. From the very beginning the primary customer base of the Sterling China Company were hotels and the company continues to operate today as a major supplier of hotel dinnerware. During WWII they supplied a tremendous amount of china to the military and also manufactured china for a few railroad companies. Over the years Sterling China acquired other hotel ware factories such as Scammell, Lamberton, the Puerto Rico factory of Iroquois and Wellsville. It is not unusual to see Sterling China marks that include one of the above names. I want you to love your item and be happy with your purchase!
