A bit more history in case it is of interest:
About RCA: RCA (Radio Corporation of America) was an American company from 1919 to 1986 (and this china is from the Camden, New Jersey plant). The RCA trademark is currently owned by a French conglomerate. In 1929 RCA purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company, then the world's largest manufacturer of phonographs (including the famous "Victrola") and phonograph records.
For more than 100 years, East Liverpool, OH was one of the two major pottery centers in the United States, the other being located at Trenton, New Jersey.
