Learn More About Jackson China
Jackson Vitrified China Company was founded in Falls Creek, Pennsylvania in 1917 on the site of the Bohemian Art Pottery which had gone bankrupt during World War I. In the mid-1920s the company withstood a severe blow when two of the principals in the corporation were killed by a disgruntled former pottery artist of the Bohemian Art Pottery who claimed he was owed $500. Local support and a loan from a bank in a neighboring town kept Jackson China going.
In 1946, a new owner purchased all shares of stock from local stockholders, doubled the factory floor space, provided modern equipment, and doubled the work force as the company was busy producing quality dinnerware primarily for hotels, restaurants and the railroads. By 1985, Jackson China encountered financial difficulties, was reorganized but failed to remain viable. After 68 years, the once-busy factory in Falls Creek turned off its kilns and closed its doors forever.
