Celia Dish and Bowl
The Carrollton Pottery Company was one of the early pottery companies in Ohio and operated from 1903 through the early 1930s. It was founded by E.L. Henderson and his brother-in-law. They primarily made dinnerware, tea ware, serving plates and bowls. They also produced toilet sets including bowls, chamber pots, and pitchers.
They later became a part of the American China Corporation in 1929, according to Lois Lehner’s Encyclopedia of U.S. marks on Pottery, Porcelain, and Clay (this included a multiple of other smaller companies as well that combined in the merger). The company filed for bankruptcy a few years later because of the crash of 1929 and later closed in 1932.
The name “sauceboat” is derived from the Old French “sausse” for sauce and boat for the shape of the vessel. Sauceboats may also be referred to as a gravy boat or “saucieres”. Initially, sauceboats were supported by a central foot, but by the mid 1700s three feet increased in popularity and it was around this time that English Porcelain sauceboats were introduced to compliment dinner services.
This is a found object in good condition. There is crazing throughout the saucer and bowl and some discoloration as well, but given its age it is just natural wear from usage. There are no chips or cracks on either piece. The bowl has a small hairline crack on the lip of the bowl running into the flowers (but it is barely noticeable). Each piece is labeled Carrolliton H China on the bottom.
The bowl is 9 1/2 inches long by 7 inches wide. The lip of the bowl measures about 25 inches around and has a depth of about 2 inches. The length of the saucer is about 8 1/4 from handle to spout and about 3 1/2 inches wide. The lip of the saucer is about 16 1/2 inches around and about 2 1/2 inches deep.
