Lee, Charles. A. Smith, John N. Taylor, William L. Taylor, and Homer J. Taylor founded Taylor, Lee & Smith Company. Lee was one of the partners in Knowles, Taylor, & Knowles. A new plant was built in Chester, West Virginia, between January and June of 1900. The first products were shipped out in January of 1901. The corporate offices were in East Liverpool, Ohio, and uniquely contacted to Chester by a walkway suspension bridge. Lee withdrew from the company in 1901 and the company was renamed Taylor, Smith & Taylor Pottery Company. The firm experienced some financial difficulties and Homer and William Taylor stepped aside. Luckily, Charles Smith and his brother William provided the funds needed to keep the company operating. They continued to use the Taylor, Smith, and Taylor name. Taylor, Smith & Taylor made a wide range of plain and painted semi-porcelain wares and art wares, such as dinnerware, hotel and restaurant ware, and toilet sets. The company enjoyed a long run of success. Lu-Ray (introduced in 1930), Pebbleford, and Vistosa are three of the company’s most popular dinnerware shapes. In the 1960s, a line of cooking and oven ware was produced. Special commission work ranged from dinnerware premiums for Mother’s Oats to Gigi and Holly Hobby plates for the American Greeting Corporation. Anchor Hocking purchased Taylor, Smith & Taylor in 1973 and ended production at the former plant in 1982.
