The info I got about Pfalzgraff is from the Made In USA site that Trek put up. Nifty site, very interesting. I did find on the Pfalz site where they mentioned being bought in 2005, but nothing about the factory. I suppose I could call them and ask.
I remember when I was a kid it seems like ALL my friends' families had the Colonial pattern Pfalzgraff dishes! (brown and gray and cream were very popular)
There is a pottery co-op near my mom's, and I have thought about commisioning my favorite potter there (she made your vase, Trek; and my beautiful pale blue serving bowl) to make me a set of dishes. That could get expensive, but that'd be even cooler than getting some made in a factory.
Smilingcat - if I tell the potter I want stoneware, not earthenware, will I get the glaze you describe? The clay she uses is white, not red. Is that stoneware? What is a crystalline finish?
