Vernon Kilns, an American ceramic company located in Vernon, California, was one of the "Big Five" California potteries.  Formerly known as Poxon China, Faye G. Bennison purchased the pottery in 1931 & produced ceramic tableware, art ware, giftware, and figurines. The other "Big Five" potteries were Metlox Manufacturing Company, Pacific Clay Products, Gladding, McBean & Co., and J.A. Bauer Pottery.
In 1952, Elliot House was hired as art director and continued to work with outside contract artists and designers such as Jean Goodwin Ames and Sharon Merrill. In 1958, Vernon Kilns closed their pottery due to mounting labor costs and competition from foreign imports. Metlox Manufacturing Company, located in Manhattan Beach, California, bought the molds and continued to manufacture some of Vernon's patterns in their Vernonware division.
