Re: masons, ruddocks hotel china
A note to TCC members who are interested in the dinnerware produced by Masons for the Ruddocks Hotel in New Orleans, I have entered the pattern 'Canton #02' with a blue-printed platter belonging to one of our members. It has the back stamp "Imported by T. T. Kissman & Co. for Ruddocks Hotel New Orleans" along with the Mason's Crown and drape mark. BTW, "Nankin" is the name of the shape of the tureen in Michael Weinberg's article, according to Janice Paull -- not the name of the pattern.
