Pfaltzgraff
Welcome to the Family of
Lifetime Brands ...
Our History
For almost 200 years the
Pfaltzgraff brand has been
associated with the
highest quality ceramic products
available for the home. The
company grew from a
modest-size pottery shop that
produced simple earthenware,
salt-glazed
stoneware crocks and even flower
pots into one of the best known
designers and
marketers of dinnerware,
glassware, ceramic accessories,
giftware and other
products. Several Pfaltzgraff
patterns are among the
best-loved dinnerware designs in
America, including Yorktowne,
Folk Art, Naturewood and
Pistoulet.

The earliest Pfaltzgraff salt-glazed crocks were used to preserve and store food.

The Pfaltzgraff family
immigrated to the United States
in the early 1800's and set up a
small potter's wheel and kiln on
their modest twenty-one acre
homestead in York County,
Pennsylvania. The brand has
remained in York ever since. The
earliest Pfaltzgraff market was
defined to be "as far as you can
get with a horse and a wagon and
then get back home the same
day." Today you can find
Pfaltzgraff products in
department stores, gift and
specialty stores and our own
Pfaltzgraff and Farberware
factory stores from coast to
coast. In addition, Pfaltzgraff
products are available on this
website, and through our popular
catalogs.
In 2005 Pfaltzgraff joined
