"Robert Hall founded the Hall China Company of East Liverpool, Ohio, in 1903; sadly he died within a year of its creation, and his son, Robert T. Hall, took over. The first production items were functional white ware: spittoons, jugs and a small amount of dinnerware.
Robert T. Hall was obsessed with finding a lost Chinese process dating to the Ming dynasty which would allow the non-lead glazed china to be fired just once, but would create a strong, craze-proof finish. He finally recreated the process in 1911, and began experimenting with dinnerware. (Some of their earliest dinnerware looks remarkably like Haviland Limoges, incidentally.)
