 About Frankoma Pottery:

The founder of the company, John Frank, came to Oklahoma in 1927 as an art and pottery teacher at the University of Oklahoma. While working on various geological digs, he discovered the rich clays of the region and set up a studio using a butter churn to mix the clay and a fruit jar to grind the glazes.

“Made by hand from Oklahoma clay, every piece of Frankoma pottery symbolizes an enduring commitment to craftsmanship, to family, and to Oklahoma heritage. Since John Frank founded the company in 1933, the greens, browns, and golds of the pieces have reflected the beauty of the prairie. To collect Frankoma ceramics is to celebrate life in the American west.

First created as affordable, everyday dinnerware and serving pieces, Frankoma’s mugs, novelties, Christmas editions, Route 66 souvenirs, and commemoratives have become sought-after collectibles. The earthenware pieces, known for their distinctive terra cotta look and colorful glazing, are an important symbol of Oklahoma’s rich heritage and history.

Collectors of Frankoma feel a connection to the Frank family’s deep Oklahoma roots and ongoing commitment to American manufacturing and artistry. When you collect Frankoma, you aren’t just collecting pottery pieces. You’re joining a circle of people that truly appreciate this family-run business where ordinary clay becomes something extraordinary.”
