Welcome to Hill House Wares! I specialize in California pottery and am particularly fond of Franciscan dinnerware but, as you will see, I carry a large number of other dinnerware. I go out often to look for new items so I have an ever increasing, wide assortment of glass, dinnerware, and pottery as well as a few other interesting items for the home. Where I can, I try to give information about the manufacturer as well as the specific pattern. Most, if not all, of the items featured are no longer being produced as so many pottery and glassware companies have gone out of business. Some pieces are common; others, harder to find. In most cases the items are used. I try very hard to provide quality items and closely inspect them before posting them to the web page. Items listed as "excellent" condition are as close to "mint" as they can get. Items in "very good" condition may have some slight scratches or a manufacturing flaw that takes them out of the excellent category but if it is a noticeable defect, I try to spell it out. "Good" items have noticeable wear and again, I spell it out. Since I go out often looking for more pieces, check back frequently if an item you want is out of stock. Prices listed are for individual items or sets. Buyer pays all shipping costs. See instructions on placing orders for details. Should you ever receive an item that has been damaged in shipment, be sure to contact me immediately (within 72 hours) and save all the packaging materials so the inspector can review them. Do not remove my labels until you are sure there is no damage or problem with your purchase. I do not accept merchandise back or issue refunds if the labels are not intact. If you have any questions, be sure to email me at: hill.donna@sbcglobal.net. I am in and out a lot so email is the best way to reach me. Please do not contact me trying to sell your dinnerware, glassware, etc. as I prefer to look at every piece I buy and buying other than local is too cost prohibitive.

I specialize in California pottery companies such as Franciscan (I carry the USA made as well as some pieces made in Portugal, England and China), Denwar, Metlox, Winfield and Vernonware; however, I do offer a some pieces of Blue Ridge, Red Wing, McCoy, Harker, Hull, and recently acquired some very nice Lenox. I have started offering some English patterns from the Wedgwood Consortium (which recently filed for bankruptcy) as well as Royal Doulton, Spode and Royal Worcester. I also have a selection of Noritake Progression patterns. I am just starting to get in some Bavarian china patterns. Although used, the dinnerware pieces generally show little wear and tear. Most of the U.S. manufacturers listed have gone out of business so their patterns are getting harder and harder to find. Franciscan potteries had several lines of glassware; such as Madeira manufactured by Tiffin and Cabaret, by Fostoria. Look for these under the name of the manufacturer in Glassware. I do have some of the English Desert Rose glassware and that is listed under Dinnerware/Franciscan/Desert Rose (Eng).

I offer various types of glasses and pitchers by a variety of manufacturers, including Culver Ltd., Duncan Miller, Fostoria (especially the American pattern), Tiffin (primarily Franciscan Madeira glassware), Imperial (Candlewick), Libbey, Indiana Glass and Jeanette Glass Company. Although used, these pieces show little wear and tear. Be sure to check out Housewares and Barware as well for more glass items. I have a special category for vintage champagne glasses.

Vintage Champagne Glasses

Unknown Vintage Champagne

Whenever I can identify the manufacturer of a piece of glass, I list it under that manufacturer's name (such as Tiffin's Special Thistle champagne glasses). The vintage champagne glasses I feature under this category are either of unknown origin or I have not been able to confirm/verify the manufacturer. Many of these champagne glasses have very similar shapes with subtle variations which I have tried to describe. Many of those pictured here were made in the late 1800's up to the 1920s so it is very difficult to track them down. I appreciate any help I can get in positively identifying the makers.
