Scoops Carey porcelain
Thanks, David. Scoops lived and died in East Liverpool, Ohio, which is a few miles from where I live. East Liverpool was also the pottery capital of the world in the early 1900's. The maker's mark on the back of the piece dates it to a company based in East Liverpool that went out of business around 1910 or so. I'm wondering if it was actually just made for him and somehow fell out of the hands of his family. I'd like to do some research to see if he had/has any family here but I'm not finding a lot.
