United China and Glass Company (UCAGCO) was an importer of dinnerware, tableware, glassware, and cabinet china ware with offices in New Orleans and New York. Beginning immediately after the end of World War Two and continuing well into the 1950s, Ucagco imported and distributed gift wares from Japan. Not all Ucagco pieces are back-stamped "Japan" or "Made in Japan" but they did come with a red and silver foil sticker indicating the Ucagco name and the country of origin. These stickers were sometimes deliberately removed and sometimes came off when the cups and saucers were washed. Only those who were collected as cabinet cups will still bear their Ucacgo stickers.
