Lotus Ware is generally considered to be the finest porcelain ever produced in the United States. The Knowles, Taylor & Knowles (KT&K) pottery of East Liverpool, Ohio produced it from approximately 1892 to 1896. The name of the porcelain came from owner Isaac Knowles, who felt that the glaze of the pieces resembled the glowing sheen of lotus blossom petals.
