Yamago Togyo – a one hundred year old Japanese manufacturer of fine porcelain retail and commercial blanks – established Heartland China, Kansas in 1995 to design, decorate, and distribute their products throughout the United States. In 2005, we moved into our new 20,000 square foot climate controlled factory in Northeast Topeka.

We stock a wide range of sizes and shapes in undecorated blanks and glassware - plates, platters, bowls, cups, saucers, shakers, mugs, etc. – both in retail and commercial grades.

After assessing your general requirements, our artists and staff suggest specific designs and decorations for your evaluation and approval. If current logo, pictures or other artwork is already available, this will be very helpful in our design process.

Following your decision to purchase, the printed artwork is applied by highly skilled individual “decalers”. After detailed inspection, the decorated pieces are fired in a conveyor or shuttle kiln operating at temperatures up to 1600 degrees, where the design colors and images are baked into the exterior glazed enamel. A rigid final inspection precedes special marking, individual boxing, master packaging, palletizing, and shipping.

You are invited to a plant visit – we are one hour west of the Kansas City, Missouri airport – to witness this exacting design and decorating process. It will be an interesting, educational, and enjoyable experience for you.
