Franciscan China from China Lane, Franciscan China replacement experts

Franciscan China - In 1875, Charles Gladding, Peter McGill McBean, and George Chambers established Gladden-McBean & Company in Lincoln, Placer County, California. Nearly 50 years later, Gladden-McBean & Company merged with the Los Angeles Pressed Brick Company, expanding operations to include plants in Glendale, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Alberhill.

Franciscan China was produced at the Glendale plant, which in 1902 had begun operating as the Pacific Art Tile Company. The name "Franciscan" was chosen by the china company to be symbolic of California. Franciscan was original produced as earthenware in brilliant glaze colors in 1934. Franciscan china was introduced 8 years later in 1942.

Gladden-McBean sold its Franciscan china plant to the Lock Joint Pipe Company in 1962 due to a decline in sales. The sale resulted in the formation of the International Pipe and Ceramics Corporation, later shortened to Interpace Corporation.

Franciscan china ceramics was sold in 1979 to Josiah Wedgwood and Sons, Ltd., and the production of the Franciscan line was moved to Wedgwood's Stoke-on-Trent facility in 1984.
