Vernonware - Kitchenware

Vernonware began with Poxon China in 1916, located in Vernon, California. Later, in 1928, it became Vernon Potteries or Vernon Kilns. The company was bought out by Metlox in 1958 and became a division of Metlox. I have pieces from over 50 different patterns including some of the hard-to-find patterns such as Winchester 73 and the souveneir specialty plates of various landmarks, California missions, cities and states.

Homespun

Homespun by Vernonware is one of the older patterns. It has an off-white background with yellow, rust and green stripes forming a plaid. It was made from 1949 to 1958.

Mixing Bowl

I don't know much about Vernonware's early mixing bowls. They were probably manufactured sometime in the late 1940s, early 1950s.

Organdie

Organdie is another one of the plaid designs by Vernonware (like Gingham and Homespun). It has a cream background with brown and yellow lines forming a plaid design. It was produced from 1937-1958.

Tam O'Shanter

The Vernonware Tam O'Shanter pattern, much like Organdie and Homespun, features various colored lines criss-crossing on a cream background. In this case the colors are rust, green and chartreuse. The pattern was in production from 1949 to 1958.
