In 1887 Frank A. Sebring and his partners bought a pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio, later moving it to Mahoning County around 1898. The town around it grew to become Sebring. Sebring Potteries was run by six Sebring brothers and two sisters, with Frank managing it until the late 1920's to early 30's.
Sebring was a pottery manufacturing town not because of the clay soil but because of the nearby coal and water necessary for the process. They say you can dig anywhere in town and find pottery shards. The Sebring Pottery co. eventually controlled American Limoges China Co. of Sebring, as well as others. Consumers of the time did not want to buy American pottery, preferring European pottery, so Sebring originally produced pottery under the Limoges name until the famous Limoges, France, sued the company. It then became known as The American Limoges China Co.
We have here a beautiful 22 K gold warranted 7 piece "Pegasus" pattern dessert set made by The Sebring Pottery Co. U.S.A. circa 1930's. It features a lovely floral center, with gold filigree on a maroon border, and the set consists of a 10" (excluding handles) serving plate and six 7 1/4" dessert plates. This set was gently used and enjoyed for many years yet the gold filigree remains in excellent condition with little wear and there are no cracks or chips. Sold as set.
