Vintage WARWICK Children's creamer and 4 butter pats with nursery rhyme illustrated on each piece. Only the creamer has identifying Warwick symbol on bottom. Instead of 4 butter pats they could be small saucers, I am not sure. Purchased at an estate sell in Toledo over 39 years.A: Warwick China Co. was founded in Wheeling, West Virginia, in 1887. It closed in 1951. The company made porcelain dinnerware sets, semi-porcelain ware, hotel ware, and railroad china. Pieces were hand-painted or decorated with decals. Patterns were identified by numbers rather than by name. The helmet and crossed-swords mark was the first mark Warwick used. It was registered in 1905 but had been used for several years before that. Variations of this mark were still being used in the 1940s. The company also used other marks over the years.The first stamp to be used was a helmet and crossed swords, adopted about 1892, for marking novelties in semi-porcelain. From 1893 - 1898, the "Warwick Semi-Porcelain" mark was in use, and from the latter date until the present time the ware has been stamped with the name "Warwick China".
