 The last factory makes a true hard porcelain, but it was origi- 

 nally established in 1854 as a bone china factory. The chief 

 product of the works is both plain and decorated table ware, though 

 the factory under the guidance of C. H. L. Smith has turned out a 

 number of high grade ornamental objects, specially vases. 



Syracuse. The Onondaga pottery, situated here, was organized 

 in 1871, the product at first being white granite. Subsequently 

 (1886) the manufa-cture of porcelain was begun; this forms the 

 output at present. The ware bears a high reputation for its strength 

 and toughness, with which is combined lightness. 



Many of the plates illustrating the manufacture of pottery were 

 taken at these works through the courtesy of Mr Pass, the presi- 

 dent of the company. So successful have been the operations of 

 this company, that the capacity of the plant has been doubled.
