• When the mayonnaise business outgrew the back room of the delicatessen, Hellmann sold the store and opened a factory in 1915. In 1922, “The Chef’s Standby: Blue Ribbon Recipes,” a mayonnaise cookbook, was published.

Hellmann certainly wasn’t without competition.

By the mid-1920s, there were more than 600 companies vying for the mayonnaise business.

So Hellmann improved his emulsifying process, enabling his factory to produce three tons of mayonnaise every hour. By 1927, his annual profits exceeded $1 million.

It’s a great time to explore solar and consider moving ahead, because there’s time to get HOA approval (if applicable), city and utility permits, and still have your system installed before the huge bills of summer begin. And with the full 30% Federal Tax Credit expiring at the end of 2019, it makes sense to go solar now if it works for you, and either lock in fixed payments for 20 years with a lease, or purchase and enjoy more than three decades of free power after your system pays for itself, generally within 5-8 years.

The important thing is to take the first step towards a free consultation and not pay more than you should for electricity for any longer than you need to.

Renova Energy is an award-winning local company founded a decade ago that designs and installs commercial and residential solar and advanced battery systems. Solar consultants will answer all your questions and help you decide if solar is right for you - not pressure you into buying a system.

Shop Around

To help you save money, consider shopping at Costco, which offers no-cost screenings at certain locations, as well as very competitive prices. Hearing aids there range between $500 and $1,500 each. You can also shop online at Up to 350 sq. ft. websites like EmbraceHearing.com and Audicus. com, which can save you up to $2,000 per pair.

Then visit a local specialist to make any necessary adjustments.

Another option worth a look is over-thecounter personal sound amplification products (or PSAPs). Unlike hearing aids, the Food and

Brown Betty Teapot Brews Splendid Tea Q:

This is a photo of a small round earthenware teapot that was my grandmother’s. It stands about 5 inches tall and holds 1 3/4 cups. It is decorated with a shiny brown glaze over red-brown clay. Marked on the bottom is an oval shape divided by an X and the word “Ford.” It is in mint condition, and it makes delicious tea.

What can you tell me about my teapot?

A:

You have a Brown Betty teapot made

by Oxford Pottery Company in Cambridge, Ohio.

It was founded in 1913 and produced dinnerware, kitchenware and utility ware. Brown Betty teapots were made with red clay. Manganese used in the process created the brown glaze, which is known as Rockingham glaze. Potters discovered the procedure in Staffordshire, England, in the late 1600s.

By the 1800s, the brown ware glaze was produced at the Rockingham Factory located in England,

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

thus the name Rockingham glaze. It is believed the combination of red clay, brown glaze and the round shape contributed to brewing good tea and helping retain heat. The shape of the teapot allowed loose tea leaves to swirl in the pot and create fragrant tea that was not bitter.

A. O. C. Ahrendts acquired Oxford Pottery stock in the 1920s. The name was changed to Universal Potteries in 1934. In 1954, it no longer produced teapots, kitchenware and dinner ware and only m a d e tiles. In 1976, the factor y closed.

Your circa-1913 teapot Tea brewed in Brown Betty teapots w o u l d created fragrant hot tea. probably fetch $50 to $75. ***

I have a porcelain tea set that has been in my family for a long time. It is a ser vice for four and is decorated with Asian scenes. Marked on the bottom of each piece are the words “Made in Japan.”

How old is it and what is it worth?

Q:

A:

Your tea set was made around 1921.

Many similar sets are selling in the range of $75 to $100.

Vol. XIV Issue 6

Q:

This is the mark that is on the bottom of a round porcelain-covered vegetable bowl. It is decorated with pink and blue flowers; it has handles; and the lid has a scalloped edge.

Any information you can provide about the maker, age and value of my bowl will be greatly appreciated.

A:

Theodore Haviland pottery made your vegetable bowl. Theodore Haviland founded his company in Limoges, France, in 1890. The reigns of the factory were passed to grandson, William Haviland, and then to his grandson, Theodore Haviland II. The company is still in business.

Your bowl was probably part of a complete service of dinnerware. The mark you provided was used from 1920 to the 1940s.

Your covered vegetable bowl might be worth $75 to $125.

Theodore Haviland is a family owned business.
