Metlox Manufacturing Company:
The Metlox Manufacturing Company was established in 1927 by T. C. Prouty and his son Willis in Manhattan Beach, California. "Metlox" is a combination of "metal" and "oxides", and reflects the initial production of ceramic letters and tiles. Prior to 1934, Metlox Pottery produced ceramic and neon outdoor signs. After T. C. Prouty's death in 1931, the plant was adapted to the making of dinnerware. The Poppytrail line was introduced in 1934 and was manufactured until 1942. It was the design creation of the President, Willis Prouty.
When the Vernon Kiln pottery closed its doors in 1957, Metlox was able to purchase the right to use the Vernon name and acquire production materials to continue manufacturing some of the successful Vernon patterns. These patterns formed the basis for a newly created Vernonware line at Metlox. The Vernonware patterns were marketed completely separately from the Poppytrail patterns. The belief was that the two competing lines could compliment and stimulate each line's sales, like the divisions of General Motors. Although the new Vernonware line initially floundered, new patterns designed by Allen and Shaw were introduced and the line's sales eventually matched those of the Poppytrail line.
The company closed in 1989.
There have been many wonderful books published for the Metlox Pottery Company. One of my favorites is by Carl Gibbs Jr. because he "estimates" the value of the cookie jars.
Metlox cookie jars are by far the most collected item. They are colorful, well-made and are in high demand. Visit my site to view these wonderful jars.
I really hope you have enjoyed this article and look forward to submitting many more on this subject. Please visit my website for much more information on Metlox and their great cookie jars!
