Cleminson Pottery

The California Cleminsons, George and Betty, started their business at their El Monte, California home in 1941 and were so successful that they eventually expanded to a modern plant with over 150 workers. Clemenson Pottery produced not only dinnerware and kitchen items such as cookie jars, cannisters and accessories, but also novelty wall vases, small trays, plaques, etc., as well.
Cleminson Pottery wares are easy to spot once you become familiar with their distinctive glaze colors...berry red, dusty pink, and blues and greens with a touch of gray. Plus pieces are nearly always marked.
Unable to compete with foreign imports, the Cleminson Pottery closed in 1963.
