The Edwin M. Knowles China Company first produced Utility Ware in 1938. It was a streamline modern kitchen ware shape with decorative rings.
Utility Ware was made with popular decals at the time such as Sequoia, Fruit, Tia Juana, and a whole range of floral treatments.
It was also offered in solid colors and plain with colored trim as the only decoration.
The image to the right comes from a Knowles brochure from the late 1930s. The four items marked with an asterisk (*) were sold with and without lids.
