Company
History (per the Laurel Hollow Park website): "The
Pope-Gosser China Company of Coshocton, Ohio was founded by two men: Bently
Pope and Charles F. Gosser. Pope was born in Staffordshire, England in 1858
and came to the United States in 1880. He was a potter in Trenton, New Jersey
and then went to work at Knowles, Taylor & Knowles in East Liverpool,
Ohio in 1895. Gosser was from Coshocton. He was a jeweler by trade, but
wanted to start a pottery. He had no pottery experience, but he did have the
capital.
Gosser went to East Liverpool and interviewed men from various firms, many
of whom recommended Pope. Pope and his family left East Liverpool for
Coshocton to partner with Gosser to build a new pottery. In September 1902,
the first ware was made at the Pope-Gosser China Company. Pope's son,
William, was working at K.T.&K., but left in 1903 to become the
superintendent at Pope-Gosser. Pope died in 1911 and Gosser died in 1916.
Pope-Gosser was part of the merger of other potteries to form the American
Chinaware Corporation in the late 1920s. However, after the American
Chinaware went bankrupt in 1931, the Coshocton plant was closed. William Pope
was able to reopen the pottery in 1933. The pottery closed its doors for good
on May 5, 1958." |
