Description
Onondaga Pottery (1871-1966) was organized by a group of businessmen who bought the Empire pottery works for the production of white ware. The production of irsonstone was discontinued in 1893. In 1966 the pottery was sold to Syracuse China Co. which is still in business, specializing in kitchen, hotel and restaurant ware.
Only one known piece decorated in the Tea Leaf motif has been found so far.
