The Porcelier Manufacturing Company first opened their doors at a site in East Liverpool, Ohio in 1927. They didn’t last long at that location, however, and moved their operations to South Greensburg, Pennsylvania in 1930.  The increased use of plastic as a cheap manufacturing material would eventually replace the more costly porcelain in the house wares market and Porcelier was forced to close their doors in 1954 when their factory was purchased by Pittsburgh Plate. During their 27 years in business, Porcelier made a wide range of porcelain household goods, everything from electric waffle irons to light fixtures to tea cups, and their products are highly collectible today. We see a lot of Porcelier wall sconces and flush mounted ceiling fixtures come and go at the store. The patterns cast into the porcelain embody a quaint, almost old world country aesthetic. Spring time flowers and hand woven baskets are common design motifs. They’re always a delight to refurbish and see go to good homes. Next time you’re in the store, peek around the back corner on the second floor and check out our current inventory of Porcelier light fixtures. You just might find one of these pretty little things to be the perfect finishing touch for your home
