Pfaltzgraff Red Stoneware Kenna Dinnerware Set 16 pc

Johann George Pfaltzgraff was born in Germany in the early 1800's. He learned the potter's trade, but because of a restrictive guild situation he had trouble establishing himself. So he and his new bride Elenora decided to emigrate to Pennsylvania, perhaps on the urging of a relative named George Falsgraff who had been a potter there since 1811. Johann and Elenora boarded the Brig Charles Ferdinand in Germany in May 1833 and arrived in Baltimore, Maryland almost four months later.
