Brock Pottery - A Confusing Day

This has been one of those days for me that you take one step forward and two back. I decided to list some Brock Pottery pieces that have some minor defects (Sorry, I realize that is a subjective definition.). At any rate I ran into problems right from the start. I usually clone existing listings if I have any and add changes to the pictures and words as needed. Unfortunately I found that many of my existing Brock listings had errors in them that I absolutely had to correct before moving on to anything new. I did finally manage to list two new items. A Harvest (brown) creamer and a gravy boat in the same pattern. By the time I finished these I was cross-eyed and ready to do something else for a while. I'll get back to the Brock tomorrow. Here's the link to what there is already.

I also managed to get the Sango Sabrina Bowls I acquired last week listed:

One last item to report. I did sell a Franciscan Creole Dinner Plate.



Description -- California Pottery, Picnic Line. Earthenware. 10 3/4" diameter. Deep honey and dark brown with embossed trim. Excellent used condition with minor utensil scratches. Issued in 1973. Estimated replacement price $17.99.
Historical Data -- Gladding, McBean and Company started in 1875. The company grew and acquired other potteries. They made sewer pipes, floor tiles, dinnerwares, and art pottery with a variety of trademarks. In 1934, dinnerware and art pottery were sold under the name Franciscan Ware. The company became Interpace Corporation and in 1979 was purchased by Josiah Wedgwood & Sons. The plant was closed in 1984 and all production was moved to England.
Picnic Line-- The Picnic Line was designed to reflect the 1970's. Bold colored florals, dark brooding exotica and happy sunny irreverence are Picnic themes.



Thanks for listening..... ☺☺☺☺
