Enamel Cookware, Poppy stock pot, floral enamel stock pot, enamel pot set, vintage buying enamelware

Here is a great little duo. This is an enamel cookware set. Two stock pots. The small one has a lid. There is a floral poppy design with orange and blue with highlights of brown and green. The larger pot is 9 1/2" X 7" and the smaller pot is 8" X 5 1/2". They kind of nest as you can see in the pictures. The smaller pot has black handles and a black knob on the lid. The larger pot has the cream enamel handles. There is some tape on the handles of the large pot but as you can see the labels are still attached. Brand new and never been used! These were display pieces for Columbian Home Products.

Below buying you will find more information about Columbian Home Products.

Columbian Home Products has been the original manufacturer of Graniteware for over 4 generations. They have been manufacturing classic durable cookware for every season, region, and ethnicity for over 100 years. They were founded in 1896.

Six years after the Civil War the business now known as Columbian Home Products was organized. It was known as the Bellaire Stamping Co in Bellaire Oh. They fabricated metal stampings, such as mason jars, kerosene lanterns, etc, eventually adding glass products. After a large fire in 1890 the factory moved to Harvey Il where the factory was specifically built for the production of porcelain enameled utensils.

In 1893 the company's name was changed to “Columbian Stamping and Engraving” in conjunction with the commemoration of the Columbian Exposition, celebrating the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. Then in 1899 another fire totally destroyed the building. In 1902 the company decided to rebuild in the city of Terre Haute, Indiana. In the beginning there was no source of light, only sunlight but after 1913 generators were installed and the factory ran 24 hours a day.

World War 1 brought changes to the factory and helmets and other war related items were made. In 1968 General Housewares acquired the company. Their corporate offices moved to Terre Haute and the company was renamed Columbian Home Products and continues to manufacture the graniteware brand.

In March of 2020 the company will close.
