Hall Autumn Leaf Pottery

By Lorraine

A collection of vintage Hall Autumn Leaf pottery pattern pieces with Jewel tea pot, mixing bowls, pitcher, coffee pot, platter and pie dish.

Do you remember this china pattern? It is called Autumn Leaf pottery produced by the Hall Pottery Company in Liverpool, Ohio.

Many of these pieces I have collected from antique shops, garage sale finds and online shopping. A few of them were passed down to me from my mom and mother-in-law and they belonged to my grandmothers. Sweet memories of long ago.

Though I do not use these heavy pottery pieces daily, they are especially nice during the fall with their warm colors and seasonal pattern. They are perfect for Thanksgiving Dinner with so many special pieces for serving.
 
If you enjoy collecting Hall pottery, you will enjoy this information about the company.
 

Hall China Co.’s Manufacturing Process

 

On August 14, 1903, Robert Hall founded The Hall China Company, East Liverpool, Ohio. The company stared with institutional products for hospitals such as combinets, bedpans, mugs and jugs and in 1908 added dinnerware to the line.

 

Robert Taggart Hall, the son, took over the business after his father’s death. He immediately put all of his efforts into a new, single fire development process. The basis of the technique actually developed during the Ming Dynasty in the mid-16th century but Hall’s process used contemporary equipment.

 

The advantage of single firing allowed a fusion of the basic material, the color and glaze all fired at a temperature of 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit. The result was a strong product that resisted crazing and was non porous.

 

Another added bonus (as we know it today) is the lead free quality of the china. Because lead could not be processed at the high temperatures, the element was excluded from all of the kitchenware. An early environmentally correct process developed unintentionally. source

 

Hall Autumn Leaf Pottery Pattern

Vintage Autumn Leaf pattern produced by Hall Pottery. Do you remember this from your childhood? Sharing my collection of this lovely pottery.
 
 
One of the easier patterns to find today is the “Autumn Leaf” pattern, a distinctive look with a cream colored background and orange, rust and tan leaves and flowers. These pieces were designed to be collected by housewives throughout the country and include a full range of dishes, serving pieces and accessories. 
 
 

Hall China Markings

Do you remember this pottery pattern? "Autumn Leaf" was produced by the Hall Company in Liverpool, Ohio and popular in the early 1900's.
 
Fortunately for collectors, the Hall China Co. used a clear and legible method to mark their wares. Variations are found but typically the word “HALL” appears on the underside of each piece. Additional markings may include “Superior Quality Kitchenware” and “Made in U.S.A.” 
 
 

Jewel Tea Company 

The directors of Hall China made a decision to associate with the Jewel Tea Company in the mid-1920’s. Hall produced an exclusive line of dinnerware for them. Jewel started using Hall teapots as premiums, and new pieces were introduced by Hall China for Jewel until 1980.

Hall Autumn Leaf Teapot is such a great piece and has a strainer insert.
 
From about 1910 until the early 1940’s, teapots were the rage. The Hall China Co. responded by creating a large line of interesting shapes and colors. An Aladdin shaped teapot was a popular item and was available in cobalt blue, yellow, magenta and other rich colors.
 
Many of the teapots and coffee pots were trimmed with gold or embellished with metallic highlights. For collectors of vintage Hall China pieces, the distinctive look of the teapots is easily identifiable and many pieces in good condition tend to be available in antique shops.

Hall Co. Today

Hall China continues to operate in Liverpool, Ohio and produces wares for food service and retail customers. The company has reissued many of its earlier designs, including some that had previously been considered rare, marked differently so help collectors identify original pieces. 

Hall China celebrated its 100th birthday in 2003.

    Hello Lorraine, thank you for this informative post! I inherited a bowl in this pattern from my grandmother when she passed away, she used it for every thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years meal. Years later I was browsing an antique shop and saw some custard cups and bought those to add to my collection. And that teapot…I must find one now!! It is gorgeous

    I love this set. I have several items myself. I wish I could find the drinking glasses and salt and pepper shakers. I use them all in the fall of the year. It is beautiful and my family feels extra special when we use it for our get togethers.

      Hi Sheri,

      The Autumn Leaf set is lovely and just right for the fall season. I did a quick search on eBay and found both the glasses and salt and pepper sets. You might be able to find just what you are looking for.

      Thank you for stopping by!

      Kindly, Lorraine

    I once entered upon an antique shop with a room decorated with black and white tile flooring, and vintage kitchen cabinets, etc. and all things HALL. That began my love of Hall pottery. I collect hall creamers with, yes, the hall stamp on the bottom If you look at my sidebar you will see them on a little shelf. They are fun to look for when we wander through antique shops. We rarely buy things, but there is always a thrill to the hunt (and it;s not easy to find a hall creamer.) Your dishes are perfect for fall. I like seeing the dates and the "news" on/in newsprint used for wrapping!

    What a beautiful collection of Hall China! You must have a very complete set. The sugar & creamer are especially sweet. We visited Hall China in Ohio a couple of times on our trips to the Homer Laughlln outlet. They are fairly close together.

    Oh, I see your Pinterest button. I'm going to go and have fun looking. I hope you'll visit my board too. I've had a ton of fun with Pinterest!

    Thank you for your encouraging comment about my testimony post. That is my prayer too, that someone will open their hearts to the Lord. He is calling them, through us… but time is flying by.

    Back to Pinterest, did you like that hanging bed on the porch? I wish I had room for one of those. It must be so relaxing. Have a great day, Maggie

    What beautiful China! I have a weakness for finding vintage pieces, even if just one or two, at Goodwill or other second-hand places. I'll eagerly come home and research the markings on the back to see if they are of any value. This set is absolutely gorgeous!

    I have this same set also. We called it Jewel-T. I inherited it from my Mema. When we finally made the decision to move out of our home and into our 5th wheel..I divided the set up with my 4 girls.
    My son will get my set down the road.
    I use it for Fall-Thanksgiving only. My Mema said they collected it thru getting gas at the gas stations. Boy I wish we would get something for gas now…lol

    Thanks for sharing your set..I had forgot to take a picture of the complete set I had. Too late now.

    I have a few pieces of Autumn leaf put away in the attic. Such a shame…I think I'll pull down a few boxes and see if I can locate it. Yours is beautitful. I adore that "I dream of Jeanie" teapot.

    I have been thinking about the "junk" I will be leaving my girls to clear out. As soon as the holidays are over we will begin our purge here, too. Have a wonderful weekend. Patty

    It's a beautiful set and I can easily
    see why you would want to keep it.
    I did the same thing when my precious
    mother passed away. I gave away many
    things, hers and mine. I kept her
    lovely white Noritake china that one
    of my brothers sent to her when he
    was in the service and stationed in
    Japan. I treasure it now remembering
    the joy it brought her and I can still
    recall setting the dining table on
    special occasions with that china
    when I was a girl.
