Pink and yellow roses share the center, surrounded by smaller blooms and green leaves, all framed by a wide 22-karat gold filigree border on cream-toned scalloped porcelain. Quban Royal is the kind of pattern that looks like it was made for a special occasion — because it was.

Founded in 1934 in Sebring, Ohio, by Beatrice L. Miller, William H. Habenstreit, and John Bert Briggs, Royal China Co. overcame massive odds to become a pottery powerhouse. Denied a bank loan because she was a woman, Miss Miller persisted, and workers initially agreed to work without pay until the business took off.  By the 1940s, they were the world's largest manufacturer of Willow Ware. They followed that success with their iconic "Currier & Ives" line in 1950. At its peak in 1965, Royal was the largest pottery company in the U.S., pulling in $6 million in sales. After several ownership changes and rebuilding from a major fire, operations finally ended in 1986.
