Flintridge, China Replacements, American Dinnerware

Replacement China in the discontinued china patterns Made by Flintridge.

Flintridge China Company was founded in 1946 in Pasadena, California.  Flintridge took its name from two materials necessary for making china: "flint" and "kaolin." Kaolin is a Chinese word meaning "high hill" or "ridge" where the finest clay is made.  Flintridge China featured both a rich, ivory-toned body that was translucent as well as a white, translucent china known as "Bon-Lite." Many Flintridge patterns were offered in a variety of colors, with more than a dozen color options available.
In 1970, the Gorham Division of Textron, Inc., acquired Flintridge; the purchase resulted in the discontinuation of most Flintridge patterns over the next few years.  A few Flintridge patterns continued to be made by Gorham for many years.
