In 1905 he opened his first china decorating studio at 3000 Lake Park Avenue in Chicago.Stouffer’s hand-painted china appears to have spanned approximately 15 or 20 years, from 1905 to 1920-25, during which time the company employed some of the best decorators in the business. Stouffer finally ceased operations in 1952.
