I have a set of Rayware crockery which I love. I found it at the junk market and it has become my croackery of choice for daily use. I'm very impressed by the quality of it.

I wonder if you saw my comments on Rayware on the Murano board ?

--- Quote ---Rayware / Raymore
OK Rayware is probably the British side of the business or a separate British firm as Terry has never heard of them and I'm drinking out of one of their mugs and a very nice stylish one it is too.

Type Raymor (ooops no e) into Ebay.com and you will see all sorts of pottery and china as well as glass and other stuff.

I call these type of firms "re-labelers". They source worldwide then relabel or badge as their own most often hiding the true maker and country of origin. Just occaisionally you will find a "made in xxxx " sticker too so country in this case is known. But I did see one of their badged items which had a shipping label on the box mentioning "Kastrup" ...a Per Lutken designed opalescent shell bowl!

So they dealt in quality stuff and I believe even commissioned designs themselves. In the US Raymor has become a "brand" in itself eventhough I don't think they actually make anything.

Now some of that is guesswork so I'd be happy for any comments and corrections.

The Rayware mark on my crockery is a kind of ink stencil ....I think ...no other marks at all.

It would be great if we could find some more glass with a Rayware or Raymor label.

Thanks Peter, yes I did read the Murano thread. I've not followed up on this yet (not had the time) but I shall do in due course. :)

Ron:
In the US Raymor was a line of pottery made by Roseville shortly before they closed in the early 1950's. It's always marked on the bottom Raymor, Roseville, USA.
