Metlox Potteries of Manhattan Beach, California,
operated between 1927 and 1989 as a manufacturer of a wide range of
dinnerware and art ware products. An early iteration of the company,
Proutyline Products Company, was founded by the Prouty family in 1921.
Proutyline built a manufacturing plant in Hermosa Beach, California, and
produced architectural tile under the brand Hermosa Tile. Theodor
(T.C.) Prouty and his son Willis were avid inventors with over 70
patents credited to them. Among their patents was a design for a tunnel kiln
in 1925, which allowed them to dramatically increase tile production.
In 1926, the Proutys sold their factory to Ohio-based American Encaustic
Tiling Company.
In 1927, they founded Metlox Manufacturing Company as a division of
Proutyline. The name Metlox is a concatenation of ?metal oxide,? a
generic term for materials used in the ceramics process. Metlox began
production in a new plant at 1200 Morningside Drive near downtown
Manhattan Beach (the location has since been turned into a shopping mall
that retains the Metlox name). Metlox?s early production included
ceramic bases for neon signs: the famous Pantages theater in Hollywood
boasts a Metlox-manufactured marquee. Like many potteries specializing
in commercial production, business began to dramatically slow in the
early 1930s. Looking for ways to stay in business, Metlox cast their eye
on the popular color-ware dinnerware lines being produced by J.A. Bauer
Sons and retooled their manufacturing facility for dinnerware
production. There?s some dispute about when they started production, but
Metlox?s most prominent color-ware line, the ?Poppy Trail? 200 series started in 1934.
Pot is in excellent
condition! No chips, dings or pings! Creamer does have a fleabite in the handle rim (easy to touch up if desired) The usual tiny pre-loved light surface wear
or light crazing here or there from years of adding flair to Betty's kitchen table gossip klatch with the girls, but
nothing that distracts from this swell Metlox treasure! Please see enlarged pics for best description and details.
