Provenance

From the collection of Jerry Brown. Donated by Richard Brown, facilitated by Larry Weaver.

In 1884, a glass bottle plant was opened in Golden, Colorado. In 1910, this plant was redesigned to manufacture ovenware and pottery. When World War I began in 1914, it was no longer possible for the United States to import chemical porcelain from Germany and the plant became Coors Porcelain Co., or COORS, U.S.A. The plant made the transition successfully, producing fine chemical porcelain for research and control laboratories. Since World War II, Coors has produced other industrial ceramics as well and has continued to meet the changing needs within the field of scientific porcelain.
