This charming series was used in the cabins of West Virginia State Parks, and some of it was also sold in park gift shops. Each piece had the seal of the State of West Virginia, but select pieces (most commonly plates) also had larger images of a deer, quail or log cabin, shown at left.
It was also made by McNicol China.
Some of the china is still in use (2011). See the photos below of a cabin, cabin interior and Carr China pieces, all contributed by Lewis Schwartz.
And at the bottom of the page, a State Parks go-with that we had no idea existed: cutlery. The photos of iced tea spoons were contributed by Gerald Baughman. |
