 Verona was first made by Taylor, Smith & Taylor around 1916 and would last until the early 1920s.
It is very similar to Iona in that both were made as plain round shapes with few decorative elements. Verona does have a slightly more formal look with its pedestal feet and elongated handles and finials. The decals also differed; Iona's were narrow bands restricted to the rims whereas Verona's were larger and bolder.
Verona must have been a good seller in its day since it is not terribly hard to find. The various sizes of casseroles, sauce boats, and bone dishes are somewhat common.
