The West End Pottery Company of East Liverpool, Ohio was in operation from 1893 to 1938. They produced several lines of semi porcelain dinnerware, toilet ware, kitchen or "household necessities" as well as hotel ware. The plate is just one example of hundreds of different shapes made by this forgotten pottery. Lehner's book of marks (see references) shows several different backstamps West End used and most are made up of the initials W.E.P.CO.
Below are links of pages taken from a shapes catalog from the early 1900s featuring some of West End Pottery's wares. Three of the pages show the dinnerware shapes, Seneca, Empress and Columbia.
