Eric and Walter Gort started the Gort China Co. in 1944 in Metuchen, N.J. The two brothers originally were from Hungary and emigrated to the United States in the early 1940s. Eric Gort was an artist and sculpter while Walter Gort was a ceramic engineer. Together they produced some of the highest quality bone china figurines made in America. Their figurines covered a wide range of subjects including birds, dogs, and people. Their people figurines were generally done in small series with a common theme including such subjects as children, oriental scenes, Americana/folk scenes, colonial scenes, etc. Gort China Co. was initially very successful, but by the early 1950s it was having money problems and eventually closed in the mid 1950s." I will be listing several pieces of Gort in separate listings.
