The Metlox Manufacturing Company was incorporated October 5, 1933. The first line of pottery produced, "Poppytrail," became well known for its brightly colored glazes derived from locally mined metallic oxides. Subsequent lines included "Nostalgia," "Red Rooster," "California Provincial," "Colonial Homestead," "Homestead Provincial," and "Colorstax." In the 1950s Metlox introduced a line of futuristic dinnerware featuring free form designs and squared plates, "California Contempra", "California Modern" and "California Freeform". The pottery factory closed in 1989 after 62 years of operation. |
