HERE ARE A FEW PIECES OF ANDOVER CHINA FROM THE ANDOVER CHINA COMPANY IN ANDOVER, NEW YORK. THE ANDOVER CHINA COMPANY WAS LOCATED ON ROCHAMBEAU AVENUE, AND WAS IN OPERATION FROM OCTOBER OF 1946 TO SEPTEMBER OF 1958. ANDOVER CHINA HAS A STAMP ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH PIECE, A FERN LEAF WITH THE WORDING "ANDOVER CHINA CO."(SEE PICTURE BELOW). MOST ANDOVER CHINA HAS THE SIGNATURE GOLD BANDING, BUT NOT EVERY PIECE DOES. MANY OF THE PIECES WERE HAND PAINTED AND ARE THEN SIGNED AND/OR NUMBERED BY THE ARTIST. VAL KUSHING(PROFESSOR EMERITIS OF CERAMICS AT ALFRED UNIVERSITY) WORKED AT THE CHINA COMPANY WHILE ATTENDING ALFRED UNIVERSITY, AND DESIGNED THE SMALL ROUND VASE(WITH OR WITHOUT HANDLE)FOR THE CHINA FACTORY.
