  • Notre Dame was available for sale in the fall of 2008.
  • They were the first college to insist on having their product shipped directly to them and controlling the sale of the items on their own.  Touchdown Tableware did not have any, and did not handle any online sales of their pottery.
  • For the University of Notre Dame collection only one of the logos was used.  However, three different logos were considered.  (see below)
  • Thank you to Wally Haugen for the use of his photo. (above)

  • Notre Dame has been the hardest to figure out what has actually been produced. 
  • It appears that Sunflower was the first option for the University of Notre Dame’s collection. It’s original project number is H-14874.  
  • It may have been produced in the following shapes: jumbo mug (0149), bread tray (0412), large disc pitcher (0484) and medium oval platter (0457). 
  • Thank you to Wally Haugen for the use of his photo. 
  • The second option was Cobalt.  It’s project number is H-14874-1.  
  • It may have been produced in the following shapes: jumbo mug (0149), bread tray (0412), large disc pitcher (0484) and medium oval platter (0457). 
  • A classic rim luncheon plate (0465) was sampled (illustrated to the right), but we are not sure if it went into production.

  • The third option was White.  It’s project number is H-14874-2.

  • Thank you to Wally Haugen for the use of his photo. 
  • The forth and final option was Evergreen.  It’s project number is H-14874-3.
