Description
Illinois China Company (1919-1946) was formed by businessmen James Shaw, William Coogan and David Hart. Mr. Hart became the President and Mr. Shaw became the Secretary-Treasurer. It is only an assumption that the pottery only made dinnerware as plates are the only pieces that have been found.
