But, in fact, the company of Lazarus Straus & Sons was founded in 1869 and successfully specialized in the import and resale of glass and ceramics. By 1874, Nathan Straus (one of 4 sons of Lazarus) convinced Macy's to allow the shop-in-shop chinaware departments in all their stores. So successful was the venture that they formed the U. Based New York & Rudolstadt Pottery Company, Inc.
To import from the Rudolstadt Works in Thurginia, Germany. With expanding business, Lazarus Straus opened subsidiaries in France L. Limoges, a decorating studio and Bohemia while maintaining a glass importing business in London.
Lazarus died in 1898 and, by 1896, Nathan had full control of the business which he retained until 1930 when it closed. In 1924, he renamed the business Nathan Straus and Sons. The source for the above is: Bohemian Decorated Porcelain by Dr. Henderson and the subscribed web source porcelainmarksandmore. The gray decorator overglaze mark on the bowl is mark #1 in Mary Frank Gaston's Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd Edition. This mark was used from 1890's to the mid 1920's.
