Frankoma
An American Classic Since 1933
You can feel the difference when you touch a piece of Frankoma Pottery. It’s not only beautiful. It demonstrates the hand crafting that’s been a Frankoma tradition since 1933. Today their talented artisans hand craft Frankoma's classic designs as well as beautiful new patterns and colors and everything - made for today's life styles - is
Microwaveable, Oven Proof, Dishwasher Safe.
Whether you've selected Frankoma Dinnerware, Bake Ware, or Serve Ware, your Frankoma products have received the individual attention and care that only comes from American craftsman.  Frankoma is
Made in Sapulpa, Oklahoma to American Standards.

Their production starts at their own Sugar Loaf Hill about a mile from their plant where they mine their own clay source.  They carefully sort and sift the raw terra cotta to remove leaves, twigs, so they can make their own clay. They painstakingly pour or press their special clay into individual molds. Then they air dry, wash, sand, smooth, glaze and fire each piece twice in their own kilns. It takes as many as eight artisans to create and finish a single piece so,

Because It's Hand-Crafted, Each Item is Really Unique.

Because of the hand crafted nature of their products there may be slight variations but their attention to detail means your Frankoma Pottery will be beautiful on it's own and will compliment and coordinate with their other products as well.

While much of the work is done on modern machines, each of our pieces are ‘handmade’ in every sense of the term, from the selection of each piece of wood, to milling, assembly, to the hand rubbing of finishes.  For more information about our hand made furniture pieces or purchasing information, please email or call our Gallery Store at 909-878-3556.
