Title: Gold Medal St. Louis Owen China Ransom 11 27 A
Post by: smithandsons on May 20, 2014, 11:32:58 AM

I have been researching some Owen China now for some time, though I cannot find the specific pieces that I have. I have many Owen China Ransom plates, saucers, etc. When researching pieces, I can find Owen China Minerva all day, including a thread about it on this site. However, I can not find any Ransom pieces (or Minerva Pieces with the same design). The only thing I could find during my research was in the MO History Museum and had almost the exact same design, if not the exact same design. In my research I have found that 1904 St. Louis World Fair (Louisiana Purchase Exposition), the Owen China Company won a gold medal for semi-porcelain.

Thank you for all help!

Welcome to the forum!  Seems like you have been doing some good research yourself.

Just to make sure we are all on the same page, can you please post a picture of the porcelain mark from the underside of a piece.

Thanks!
