Coastline Imports is a leading wholesale distributor of quality imported 

tableware including fine bone china, fine porcelain and ceramic

 kitchenware. Its importing operations provide a steady supply of 

well recognized traditional and contemporary tableware offered

 at competitive prices directly to retail stores.

UCAGCO actually means United China and Glass Company. 

Its offices were based in New Orleans and New York.

Ucagco was primarily a distributor of dinnerware and glassware. 

They were the distributor of many Japanese china patterns 

during the early 1950's. United China & Glass Co. Inc.,

 better known as UCAGCO, dating back to 1850.

 Founded by Abe Mayer and originally called 

Abe Mayer & Co., the importer did business 

throughout the Southeast U.S. as well 

s Central and South America. It wasn't

 until the 30s that the company took on

 the official trademark of UCAGCO and

 began expanding overseas. In fact, 

after the war, the company's agent in Japan, 

S.A. Stolaroff signed the very first contract

 allowing imports from Japan. A talented 

ceramic designer himself, Stolaroff worked 

alongside many Japanese potteries to lead

 the company's line of ceramics. In 1956, 

UCAGCO was sold to Sammons Enterprises

 and in 1962, Stolaroff, who had become 

the company's president, retired.
