This is the first book devoted entirely to the vast array of
wonderful animal sculptures and decorative items produced by
Freeman-McFarlin Pottery, located in California from 1951 through
1980. This book contains over 480 vivid photos and vintage catalog
pages, interviews with former employees, and a price guide. Learn
the story of the overlapping histories of other California
Potteries owned by Gerald McFarlin prior to his partnership with
Maynard Anthony Freeman, including Tudor Pottery, Rio Hondo, and
McFarlin Potteries. The early years are defined by cute miniature
animals and plain-looking pottery. Once the partnership flourished,
the animals and tableware became larger, bolder, and much more
innovative. The history includes two factories, numerous artists, a
devastating fire, the sale of the company to International
Multifoods of Minnesota, and ultimately, the sale to Hagen-Renaker,
a well-known California Pottery, in 1980.
