The listing, Rhapsody pattern by Pope - Gosser China has ended.
There are 41 pcs in this set of Rhapsody China Dishes, Pink Roses, Green & Brown Leaves. This was Made in the U.S.A in Ohio. In 1920, the lettering on the mark was changed again to ‘POPE-GOSSER CHINA’ in all capital letters. Pope-Gosser began including “MADE IN U.S.A.” in the late 1920’s through about 1931. It was re-introduced later and continued into the 1940’s. Pope-Gosser China began by making their products with European clay, mixing it with kaolin, quartz, and feldspar, before eventually switching to American clay. Their plates and chinaware soon developed a great reputation for largely resisting the signs of age and wear and tear, such as cracking and chipping. Their chinaware is also renowned for its ability to resist crazing, and the company grew to be a well-known international supplier of fine china. Their designs are considered true works of art by many collectors, and several pieces reside in the British Museum even today. - Written by Jeffrey McGrady for www.rubylane.com
