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!
