All pewter top lid, that is attached. History of Knowles Taylor & Knowles Knowles was an East Liverpool, Ohio potter, whose pottery was a longtime producer of yellow Queensware, and ceramic canning jars. Around 1870, Knowles decided that it was time for a change. He brought sons, Homer and Willis, and his son-in-law, Colonel John Taylor into the business. Knowles was canny enough to know that bringing in like-minded progressives, would insure the direction: straight ahead into the 20th Century. Knowles was right. Shortly after their arrival, the Knowles brothers and John Taylor added whiteware, or ironstone, to the product line in 1872. This proved so successful a venture that within a year, Knowles, Taylor & Knowles, had completely abandoned production of the less-refined Rochingham and yelloware. In 1880, Knowles, Taylor & Knowles was the largest pottery in East Liverpool.
