Erphila was a giftware firm founded in Philadelphia in 1886 by two German immigrants, Theodore Ebeling and Frederick Reuss. They imported porcelain, ironstone and earthenware from Czechoslovakian and Bohemian factories as well as other European countries including Limoges, France. Their mark is a combination of the letters E & R {Ebeling and Reuss} and the first letters of Philadelphia.
