The tableware and many other manufactured items were made in England. The tableware was made by John Wedge Wood of Staffordshire. According to the guide, John Wood changed his middle name to Wedge to horn in on his more famous namesake, but I haven't found a source to confirm it.

There was a lot of imported stuff in an area the folks back East thought of as the rough and ready frontier.
