The Hall China Company
The Hall China Company was an American ceramics manufacturer located in East Liverpool, Ohio, United States, known for pioneering the single-fire glazing process. At the time of its closure, Hall China was one of two potteries under the HLC Inc. brand, the other being Homer Laughlin China.
