While doing some research on a set of dishes my aunt passed down, I came across this book that tells the history of California pottery, an industry that soared in the early to mid 20th century. The number of companies producing pottery was ever growing with many using skilled people to paint their creations. Hand work that made pieces very distinct and special even though they were basically mass produced. As production headed overseas, many of the companies folded in the late 50's and 60's. An interesting tale and the photos are divine.
