Antique pottery and vintage pottery is both fun to collect, display, and use.
These pieces bring a sense of the past and help to create a homey feeling. Some
of the most famous include Fiesta, Frankoma, American Bisque, Royal Copley, Inarco,
Delfts, and Red Wing. Pottery beer steins are also collected by many people.
The Frankoma Company has a long and interesting history. In 1933 John Frank started
his own commercial pottery manufacturing business. In 1938 he and his wife moved
to Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and built a new building. From 1933 until 1954 clay was used
from Ada, Oklahoma, and then red Sapula clay was used from Sugerloaf Hill.
The southwestern line of dinnerware that was introduced in 1942 became Frankoma's
signature line. In 1947 the Mayan-Aztec line of dinnerware was introduced in colors
Prairie Green, White Sand, Desert Gold, and Onyx Black. Other colors and patterns
were introduced from time to time.
John Frank died in 1973. His daughter managed the company until she sold it in 1991
to Richard Bernstein. In 2005 he sold the business to Det Merryman, the owner of
Merrymac Collection of ceramic products.
