UCAGCO means United China and Glass Company. Originally based in New Orleans and New York, they distributed a range of dinnerware and glassware, including many Japanese china patterns during the early 1950s.
United China & Glass Co. Inc. dates back to 1850. During the 1930s the company took on the official trademark of UCAGCO and began expanding overseas.
After WWII, the company's agent in Japan, S.A. Stolaroff signed the first contract allowing imports from Japan. A talented ceramic designer himself, Stolaroff worked alongside many Japanese potteries to lead the company's line of ceramics.
