What I have learned and copied from the internet about Frankoma Pottery is in quotes. Very nice history to read! I have added a link to a wonderful history of Frankoma Pottery as well.
"John Frank established Frank Potteries, Oklahoma's first commercial pottery, in Norman, Oklahoma, in 1933 during the Great Depression. Beginning in 1960 the youngest Frank daughter, Joniece, worked by her father's side and began designing pieces. In 1971 John Frank was honored as the Outstanding Small Businessman in Oklahoma and the United States. Joniece Frank inherited the business after her father's death on November 10, 1973. Despite fires that destroyed the plant in 1938 and 1983 and a bankruptcy in 1990, Frankoma Pottery remained in operation. In March 1991 Richard Bernstein, a Maryland pewter maker and investor, purchased the company and appointed Kyle Costa as president and Joniece Frank as vice president. At the turn of online the twenty-first century Frankoma Pottery employed approximately fifty employees. Its pieces had become collectors' items, resulting in the formation of Frankoma Family Collectors Association in 1994.
Frankoma Pottery closed and was sold in 2008 and again in 2010. The trademark and molds, however, were reserved. In 2012 a Houston company acquired them. It has manufactured Frankoma Pottery artware and novelty items. The company now has a Facebook page and is in the process of opening a manufacturing plant in Glenpool, Oklahoma.
