Learn More About Buffalo China
The Buffalo Pottery Company was established in Buffalo, New York, in 1901. It was an offshoot of the Larkin Soap Company, which was founded in 1875. John Larkin and his brother-in-law Elbert Hubbard conceived Buffalo Pottery to make dishes that could be purchased with certificates from Larkin Soap. In essence, the company was a gimmick to sell more soap!
Buffalo Pottery produced many different kinds of pottery for commercial use in hotels and railroad dining cars, as well as art pottery all of which is popular with collectors. In 2003, Buffalo Pottery emptied its kilns for the last time and closed the factory doors, thus ending about 380 jobs and 102 years of history.
