Carter-Mondale Presidential Inaugural Commemorative Mug, 1977
01
Artifact Overview
John Frank, head of the ceramics department at the University of Oklahoma, and his wife Grace Lee established Frankoma Pottery in 1933. They used native clays of Oklahoma to create their Southwestern-inspired wares. But the Franks also successfully developed new lines of commemorative pieces that became sought-after collectibles. The company made this political party mug celebrating the 1977 inauguration of President Carter.
