Prouty and his son Willis Prouty. After the death of T.C. in 1931, Willis renamed the company Metlox Pottery ("Metlox" is a combination of metal and oxide, a reference to the glaze pigments), and began producing dinnerware. The first line of pottery produced, "Poppytrail," became well known for its brightly colored glazes derived from locally mined metallic oxides. Evan K. Shaw, of American Pottery in Los Angeles, purchased Metlox from Willis Prouty in 1946. After Shaw's death in 1980, Kenneth Avery became the president of Metlox. Metlox's incorporation was terminated on January 4, 1988. The pottery factory closed in 1989 after 62 years of operation.Head lid MAY have small paint chip underneath base (see pic)Minor stains on bottom of base (see pic)NO cracks, breaks, scratches or crazingYour shipment will arrive in via USPS Priority Mail (1-4 business days), USPS Ground Advantage (2-5 business days), or UPS Ground (1-5 business days), after the 2-3 day processing time (upon paid purchase)Shipment(s) sent out of Lemon Grove, California, USAWill be packed very well - READ OUR FEEDBACK!No Returns *USPS GROUND ADVANTAGE OR UPS GROUND MAY BE 50% CHEAPER THAN SHOWN HERE - ASK US FIRST, NEED YOUR ZIP CODE!***AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT AFTER PURCHASE, WHICH MAY REFLECT A MORE ACCURATE POSTAGE RATE FOR THIS ITEM - DON'T PASS THIS UP YET!
