Description

The Knowles facility, located in Chester, West Virginia, was described as a "model plant of the highest order." Edwin Knowles confirmed that his company would manufacture only the finest semi-vitreous ware.   A year later, product from the plant was lauded by the Crockery and Glass Journal as the highest grade ware: "weight is light, its finish the finest, its shapes graceful, its decorations artistic, and its body and quality most durable." Knowles' reputation for creating quality product became known throughout the industry.
