Iroquois China Company was established in 1905 in Solvay, New York, situated near Syracuse's western boundary, by founders J. Brewster Gere and Lemont Stillwell. The firm maintained its operations in Syracuse until it ceased business; while some accounts indicate 1969 as the year of closure, certain patterns such as "Informal" and "Museum White" continued to be sold into the early to mid-1970s.
Among prominent mid-century modern designers associated with the company were Russel Wright, who launched the Casual collection circa 1950, and Ben Seibel, whose Impromptu series persisted until the company's dissolution.
Distinguished product collections included Bridal White, Frolic, Vision, Jardinieres, Pins and Beads, alongside geometric motifs introduced in 1956 like Parasols and Pyramids. Additional abstract patterns encompassed Aztec, Fjord, Tiara, Pompon Garland, and El Camino. Subsequent designs featured Grapes and Beige Rose. Comparable to its competitor Syracuse China, Iroquois gradually discontinued its residential product lines by the late 1960s.
