Importing and distributing German porcelain at first, they began importing Bohemian porcelain, for example from <i>Moritz Zdekauer</i>, around 1880. In 1883, the retail portion of the business was sold to a nephew who ran his business under the name of <i>Burley &amp; Co.</i>, meaning that both companies existed side-by-side for a while.</p><p><font size="4"><b>Burley &amp; Co.

The company also sold various blanks to <i>Pickard</i>. Other areas of business included an own department for durable hotel supplies, many of which were created at the Mettlach factory of <i>Villeroy &amp; Boch</i>. <i>Burley &amp; Co.</i> furthermore supplied china to at least six railroads beginning in 1891 as well as the <i>Cloverleaf Steamboat Line</i> around 1900.</p><p><br /></p><p>Following the death of <i>A.G. Burley</i> in 1897, business of <i>Burley &amp; Tyrrell</i> slowly declined. His nephew eventually decided to take over and rejoined both companies in 1907. The united <i>Burley &amp; Co.</i> remained highly successful during the next years, but it was decided to sell the company to <i>Albert Pick &amp; Co.</i> in 1919. The deal was complete by 1923.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
