The Hartford Faience Co. (1894-1991)
Hartford Faience was incorporated on August 7, 1894 and officially adopted that name January 9, 1900 when it went through a restructuring. Prior to then it was known as the Atwood Faience Company, named after its founder, Eugene Richard Atwood (b.1866 ). The restructuring was necessary because, as early as 1897, the company was showing signs of underperformance. The company's specialty tiles, panelings and cement embellishments adorn subway walls in New York, fountains in Seattle, skyscrapers in San Francisco and the mantles in homes.
Age appropriate roughage to edges.
