Manufacturer: Scammell China
User: International House, New Orleans
Date of cream: 1943-54
Notes: In 1943, businessman Archie Jewell converted a former 12-story bank, built in 1906 and located at 221 Camp Street in New Orleans, into the International House. It was a forerunner of the World Trade Center concept, dedicated to world peace and trade. In addition to offices and meeting rooms, it contained several dining rooms.
In 1998, the building was converted into the International House Hotel.
Scammell produced the original dining room china crested with this red globe logo on its Platinum Blue base china.
