Casserole Dish, circa 1951
01
Artifact Overview
The native clays of Oklahoma provided a foundation for the decorative ceramics and dinnerware produced by Frankoma Pottery. John Frank, who headed the ceramics department at the University of Oklahoma, and his wife Grace Lee began the business in 1933. They moved to Sapulpa, Oklahoma, in 1938 and sold their Southwestern-inspired wares coated with prairie-colored glazes at an affordable price. The pottery remained family-owned until 1990.
