EAST LIVERPOOL – East Liverpool High School Alumni Association (ELHSAA) 30th Annual Pottery Online Auction is open for bidding until Oct. 29. Browse local pottery and memorabilia plus register to bid at https://www.biddingforgood.com/ELHSAA. This is the largest fundraiser of the year with proceeds benefiting ELHSAA projects and scholarships.

“This year’s custom items donated by Fiesta Tableware Company are sure to excite many Fiesta and Hall China collectors.” said Brian Shockey, Pottery Auction Chairman. “These are unique pieces made exclusively for ELHSAA that will never be made again.”

Fiesta Tableware Company, Newell, W.Va., graciously manufactured and donated custom Fiesta and Hall China items. This year’s special Fiesta item was originally designed to commemorate the turn of the century. The 12 individually numbered Millennium I Vases are glazed in Jade (2023 new color). Since first produced in 1938, the Hall China Donut Teapot has been very popular. Using the old molds, Fiesta Tableware Company produced 12 Donut Teapots using the Fiesta Foundry process – which looks and feels like cast iron. Fiesta Tableware Company also donated 12 beautiful Fiesta Plates in Sky (Fiesta color for 2024), and W.C. Bunting Company decorated them to make 2025 Calendar Plates.

Consignment and donated items of local pottery and memorabilia are also featured in our on-line auction. This year’s most unique item is a Fiesta Original Red Cup custom made in 1942 by Bob Stoffell which features many Fiesta and Harlequin handles all on one cup.

The public is invited to the Auction Open House on today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Clock Tower, 416 E. 4th St., East Liverpool. Anyone can bid by registering at https://www.biddingforgood.com/ELHSAA or visit www.elhsaa.com for more information.

The ELHSAA would like to thank Elizabeth (Liz) McIlvain, President, Fiesta Tableware Company, and Patrick O’Hara, Vice President of Sales, W.C. Bunting Company for their support and donations.
