China and Ceramics

jpg image
A selection of china, pottery, and dinnerware from depression era to modern. 1950s modern designs are included here when available. Also featured are various California Potteries. Some manufacturers whose products can frequently be found here are Franciscan, Hall China, Homer Laughlin, Winfield, and others.

We don't have a lot of pottery in stock right now. We'll update this page with more ceramics and pottery items when we can.

Items are priced "each" unless noted otherwise. All inventory is listed online, so be sure to check back for updates.
(If it's not listed here, we don't have it).

jpg image Franciscan's Heritage pattern was introduced in 1960 and remained in production until at least 1969. These dishes are made of china that is durable enough for everyday use. The weight of the china is lighter than stoneware but heavier than fine china. It has a glossy finish and a nice feel. The china has a very faint green tint and green decorations in two shades. Some pieces are backstamped "HERITAGE INTERPACE Franciscan Discovery MADE IN U.S.A. OVEN SAFE / COLOR FAST". Others are backstamped in the same shape, but "Family China" replaces "Discovery". The "Family China" mark dates from 1960 to 1965, and the "Discovery" mark dates from 1965 to approximately 1969. If the backstamps are important to you, please inquire about the items you are interested and I will let you know which backstamp they have.
