Pacific Pottery

American, (1892–1942)


Pacific Clay Products was founded 1892 and later became one of the Big Five Southern California potteries in the production of ceramic tableware, kitchenware, and artwares from 1930 to 1942. The Big Five, all located in the Los Angeles Basin, included Metlox; Vernon Kilns; J. A. Bauer Pottery; Gladding, McBean, and Co.; and Pacific Clay Products. These five companies persuaded homemakers to put pottery instead of porcelain on their tables. In October of 1942, after only ten years of dinnerware production, the factory retooled for the full-time production of war materials. Pacific Clay Products never produced tableware or artware again.
